UW-MADISON molecular biologist Ross Inman does not adhere to the theory, advanced by Time magazine in a cover story this week, that “the climate is crashing” and global warming is to blame.
But as Inman looks out on Lake Mendota from his sixth floor office on Linden Drive, he sees a lake that did not completely freeze over this past winter.
That view is at odds with the state climatology office, which reported that the lake froze on Dec. 19. With all due respect, Inman will believe his own eyes, and he says the lake did not completely freeze.
