Richard S. Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an atmospheric physicist, "renowned for his research in dynamic meteorology - especially atmospheric waves." [1] He was an Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a vocal critic of anthropogenic global warming theories. [1]
Richard Lindzen is currently a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Science and Economic Advisory Council of the Annapolis Center for Science-Based Public Policy. He previously held positions at the University of Chicago and Harvard University, and was a contributor to Chapter 4 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2001(IPCC)[2]
