The Postmodern Prophets: Questioning the Cult of Climate Change with Dr. Roy Spencer

The Adult in the Room

Dr. Roy Spencer has an extensive scientific pedigree. He's a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama - Huntsville, and the US Science Team leader for the AMSR-E aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. He's been lauded by the American Meteorological Society for his groundbreaking work monitoring Earth's temperature fluctuations. So when he expresses a scientifically-backed hypothesis that climate change is part of a naturally-occurring cycle and that human impact is small and possibly negligible, it carries a great deal of weight. Instead, he's been mocked and challenged by untrained activists, and even had his own job explained to him by a reporter on national television. Today, he joins the program to discuss his work, as well as his concerns about activism- and ideology-driven government weighing down scientific research.
