Dr. Richard Lindzen, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist and MIT professor emeritus, is sounding the alarm about the globalist push to enforce so-called “Net Zero” policies.
Lindzen is warning the public about the global campaign to comply with “Net Zero” by 2050.
He asserts that “there will be no climate catastrophe” whether “Net Zero” is achieved or not.
In his view, the plan is not only astronomically expensive but virtually useless.
The eminent professor warns that “Net Zero” is a hoax that requires devastating public sacrifices for no environmental benefits.
“If you reach Net Zero by 2050, if you do it worldwide, you avoid about a third of a degree of warming,” says Lindzen in a new interview.
“If it’s just Europe and the Anglosphere, it’s closer to a tenth of a degree.
“So you have avoided a tenth of a degree of warming at a cost of probably tens of trillions of dollars.
“Doesn’t seem like a bargain to me,” he adds.
“How far will the population go in saying, we will sacrifice ourselves for a symbolic gesture?”
Lindzen also pushes back on the apocalyptic rhetoric coming from climate alarmists.
He especially highlights the false claims by those in globalist international institutions, such as the United Nations (UN) and World Economic Forum (WEF).
“When somebody says the change of a tenth of a degree, or when [UN Secretary-General António] Guterres says, if it changes a half-degree, we’re finished as a species, this is an existential threat – people have to ask, what the hell are they talking about?”
He dismisses climate doomsday predictions as political theatrics.
“2030 will pass. 2050 will pass,” he states.
“Fifty years will pass.
“There will be no climate catastrophe.”
Lindzen, a longtime skeptic of climate panic, discusses how the role of CO₂ in warming is limited.
He also critiques the constant linking of weather extremes to human activity.
Lindzen believes policies driven by this narrative are scientifically unfounded and economically destructive.
Over his decades-long career, Lindzen has authored nearly 250 peer-reviewed studies and contributed significantly to the understanding of Earth’s climate systems.
His research spans atmospheric transport, monsoon meteorology, planetary waves, and the dynamics of heat in global weather patterns.
His work was foundational in the development of Hadley Circulation theory and the understanding of small-scale gravity waves.
In addition to holding professorships at Harvard, MIT, Tel Aviv University, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Lindzen has advised the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
His accolades include the Clarence Leroy Meisinger Award, the Jule Charney Award, and the James B. Macelwane Medal.
He is a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Lindzen’s perspective offers a sharp rebuke to the mainstream climate agenda.
It questions whether it’s science or ideology driving the push to remake the global economy over what he sees as meaningless “climate” gains.
