be naomi arrest gus harvard professor decided to investigate just that. so in the early, 2000 at the american media were presenting climate change is a big scientific debate. and that struck me as weird because none of the scientists that i knew thought it was a debate. so i decided to undertake an analysis of the peer reviewed scientific literature. the i p. c. c. had already stated that most of the observe warming was likely to be due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. so i posed the question, how many papers published in peer reviewed scientific literature? this agree with that statement? i'm to answer that question. naomi arrest his looks up, research papers for global climate change. the words appear in 937 scientific papers to arrest his read them all and what i found was none. there was no dissenting public publish sanctuary. period literature on the basic question of whether not men may climate change was happening. and i'm a professional historian of science, so i thought, well, if i don't know this, then probably a lot of other pe

why did you choose to go to harvard? ... >> hopefully the better part of myself that sort of imagine a place that was actually devoted to you know, the best not to imparting aug series of human of education and to the students. you know so i think that i have both motivations,, i had vaultig ambitions and you know, i sort of a serious intellectual desire and the omission found that harvard expected to find an wanted to find which was sort of an entry point into the american elite. in the intellectual side of me found that it could get the harvard education is a dimension i had to work incredibly hard to find it and putting together on its own it. so inside the elite university, you can find great education but no one is going to give it to you, you have to piece it together and so if i look back my time in college, i would say the probably one year out of the four, i did the kind of intellectually serious work that he imagined that when i got there, the harvard was supposed to deliver. and the rest of the time, i was cau
