Former science advisor for Al Gore: global warming fears ‘mistaken’
Republican Liberty Caucus ^ | 12/29/2008 | Publicola

Princeton University physicist Dr. Will Happer — once fired by then-Vice President Al Gore for failing to conform to Gore’s hysterical views on global warming – has now declared that man-made warming fears are “mistaken.”

Happer, who served as the director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy from 1990 to 1993, said, “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism. I did not need the job that badly.”

He said in 1993, “I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy.”

Senator Inhofe’s Report

Now Happer has asked to join the more than 650 international scientists who have spoken out against man-made global warming fears and are cited in the 2008 U.S. Senate Minority Report from Environmental and Public Works Committee ranking member James Inhofe (R-Okla.)

“I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken,” Happer told the committee on Dec. 22.

President-elect Barack Obama’s choice as his top science adviser, Harvard University professor John Holdren, is a religious believer in the dangers of man-made global warming and advised Gore on his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Dr. Happer has published over 200 scientific papers, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Academy of Sciences.

Sen. Inhofe said that the statements of prominent scientists like Happer who are willing to publicly dissent from climate fears strike a blow to the United Nations, Gore, and the media’s claims about global warming.

“The endless claims of a ‘consensus’ about man-made global warming grow less and less credible every day,” Inhofe said.

Yes, Al Gore. Let's not let science interfere with policy.

Mistaken? No.

Propaganda for controlling the masses? Yes.

If it's "consensus", it's not science. If it's Science, there's no need for consensus..........

Obama is not getting off to a good start with this one.

He’s going to have to change his position and not tax the cr@p out of the coal plants after all.

So much for that source of revenue.

When I first read the title I saw:

Former science advisor Al Gore: global warming fears ‘mistaken’

and I thought: has the world just turned upside down in its orbit round the sun?

But no. I see that it was just a momentary reading error on my part and that Al Gore is still an idiot and all’s right with the earth’s orbit.

The good scientist is mistaken.

The global alarmism surrounding global warming is not *mistaken*. It is *purposed* for tyrannical controls over the global economy based upon junk science.

You are mistaking the link between tax policy (tax as few (individual voters) as much as possible as fast as possible) and energy policy (control society and limit growth and limit private capitalism) with international socialism (as much as possible as soon as possible) with “climate change” - which is a means to the ends.

The ends being the destruction of US.

Some people justifiably compare Global Warming to astrology, but I think it's more like Freudian psychoanalysis, a lot of tautological sophistry tarted out as science. They are all ersatz religions that allow confused people to cope with life and feel better about themselves.

Al Gore fired him in 1993, so apparently he never nodded.

At one time, it was also "consensus science" that Earth was flat and the center of the Universe. Until the deniers showed that consensus science could not prove its hypothesis.

Isn't this the first time he's "come out" of the globe Bull warming closet?
