Physicist Dyson: Obama 'Chose the Wrong Side' on Climate Change

Noted theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson says he votes for Democrats, but is disappointed with the position President Barack Obama has taken on climate change.

Dyson worked on climate change before his retirement as professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1994, and said in an interview with the U.K. Register that scientists are ignoring their own data that show climate change isn't happening as quickly as their models are predicting.

Climate change, he said, "is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that a whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?"

"It's clear now the models are wrong, but it wasn't so clear 10 years ago. I can't say if they'll always be wrong, but the observations are improving and so the models are becoming more verifiable."

Carbon dioxide isn't as bad for the environment as claimed, he said, and actually does more good than harm.

Evidence proves the earth is not heating up! Wake up America before your neighborhood is covered in worthless solar panels.

Theoretical physicists dont study climate change.
