Re: [Phys-L] Freeman Dyson in an interview

[Savinainen Antti <antti.savinainen@kuopio.fi>]

Hi,

there is an e-mail interview in Independent conducted by Steve Connor: <http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/letters-to-a-heretic-an-email-conversation-with-climate-change-sceptic-professor-freeman-dyson-2224912.html>.  It is obvious that Dyson is a genius with many valuable contributions to physics. However, this does not mean that his (or anybody else's) views would be automatically valid outside his expertise. 

In my opinion, Frank Wilczek wrote a good review on Dyson's two recent books ("Dreams of Earth and Sky" and "Birds and Frogs"): <http://frankwilczek.com/2015/dysonReview.pdf>. 
My reading is that Wilczek criticized, although very politely and gently, Dyson's take on climate change. 

Regards,
