Physicist Dr. Will Happer: Global Warming Alarm ‘Mistaken’
WASHINGTON, DC – Award winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer, who was reportedly fired by former Vice President Al Gore in 1993 for failing to adhere to Gore’s scientific views, has now declared man-made global warming fears “mistaken.”
“I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken,” Happer, who has published over 200 scientific papers, told EPW on December 22, 2008. Happer made his remarks while requesting to join the 2008 U.S. Senate Minority Report from Environment and Public Works Ranking Member James Inhofe (R-OK) of over 650 (and growing) dissenting international scientists disputing anthropogenic climate fears. [Note: Joining Happer as new additions to the Senate report, are at least 10 more scientists, including meteorologists from Germany, Netherlands and CNN, as well as a professors from MIT and University of Arizona.

Inhoff LOL. Anything he has do with has no credibility.

Actually, it’s non-scientist Al Gore, the $100 million climate scam man, who has no credibility. Happer is a Physicist who is entitled to his informed opinion.

Al Gore has shown himself to be a shameless self-promoter in the past who will stop at nothing to get his way. He is not a physicist (or a scientist of any sort), and he in fact told Dr. Happer that scientific fact should not cloud political opinion. When Dr. Happer disagreed, he was promptly fired by Gore.

This whole “GLOBAL WARMING” is a HOAX to put fear into all Countries to lever them into giving up a CO2 TAX, the Agenda 21, NWO, UN needs this TAX to pay for their “One World Army” and “One World Government” – There’s absolutely NO credibility in the fraudulant data given to Media who are under instructions from the same “Agenda 21″ control to promote it. When are our Politicians going to wake up! and resist this false scientific push from the N.W.O. see http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=wy01J7AyIU0

Scientists are so stupid. How can anything as small as an atom of carbon dioxide have any effect on the weather? You can’t even see a carbon doxide atom so how can it affect the weather.

Dr. Happer,
My e-mail address is “gwisahoax@mowisp.net
I want to send you via regular mail a 6-page report on 20th century temperatures from 287 locations. This was prepared on an old DOS based software program, so cannot sent it via e-mail.
Basically, what my report shows, is that as an average for all 287 locations, these are the rates of temperature change during the 20th century – all in degrees F., per century.
For the entire century +0.82
For 1900-1933 +3.21
For 1934-1999 +0.08
In other words the aveage rate of temperature rise during the first 1/3rd of the century was 40 times as rapid as for the the last 2/3rds of the century.
Also, the rate for 1900-1933 was 4 times as rapid as for the entire century.
Yet, this 34 year period of rapid warming, was decades prior to the large scale usage of fossil fuels. There is no way carbon dioxide can be causing GW. First of all, there is essentially no GW, and secondly, the short time period in which warming was most significant, was decades prior to the large scale usage of fossil fuels.
Sure, I know it warmed significantly during the 1980′s, having followed a very dramatic cooling period during the 1950′s, 1960′s and 1970′s, so the warming the GW idiots claim began at the coldest time of the 20th century.
Congratulations on your talk to the committee in Congress yesterday! You told it like it is.
In January of 2005, I downloaded long-time actual Annual Average Temperatures from over 200 US locations, plus about 100 from other nations. By the time I had finished running the regressions on those about 300 locations, I had my answer. There is no GW.
Please send me your mailing address so I can mail you the report. I would surmise you haven’t seen anything as complete which tells what has happened to temperatures.
Thanks, Wayne Byerly, Nixa, MO

Inhoff LOL. Anything he has do with has no credibility.
So Mary, even though Dr. Happer testified before congress, and those words were transcribed onto a website of a person you don’t believe, you can dismiss what the Dr. said just becuase his words appear somewhere you don’t like?
Ad hominem taken to a new level.

if the globe is not warming, then why are glaciers melting around the world at record rates?
March 7th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
The globe has warmed – that is not in dispute – how much and why is. About a 0.2C warming was expected since 2001 – it hasn’t happened. Where did the missing heat go?

The Arctic has warmed – there are various contributory factors – West Antarctic has warmed, but most of the East hasn’t or has actually cooled – search CRN.

If one looks back into geologic time, one witnesses massive changes in the formation and degredation of land massess. With regular magnetic pole reversals and a seemingly expanding planet with tens of thousands of significant and regular climate changes, the effects cannot be ascribed to human behavior. Many experts from the field of geology and physics understand that most of the forces of significant change are internally driven from within the planet and its convective heat as well as from solar activity which continues to exhert an enormous influence on the planet. Dr Happer is quite right, CO2 levels are low comparatively and we need to step back from the silly science of GW and understnad that the only constant in nature is change. That is why ice sheets appear and dissappear and species like us will too. Hopefully it will be soon before we are systematically destroyed by idiots.

I personally laud Dr. Happer for eloquently voicing his profound opinions. There are many serious problems with the IPCC defrauding of data to promulgate their agenda. It turns out that data point to a similar warming trend approximately 1500 years prior to the Medieval Climate Optimum (people alive then thought it was optimum). Here we are 1500 years after the MCO, and we may be entering another warming trend. While eliminating the data from the analysis set may make the GW folks feel better, it is egregious science. Some Danish scientists have correlated the warming trends to solar activity and hence cosmic ray bombardment. As Happer says, these may be causal events, more so that CO2 levels. It’s interesting that there exists evidence of natural citrus groves as far north as North Carolina during the MCO. During the Little Ice Age, they died out, of course. Obviously none of these warming periods had anything to do with anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
I’m from the southwest US. The greatest period of climate change occurred in the “Dust-Bowl days”. These changes occurred at the same time that Wayne Byerely’s data shown dramatic warming. I’ve looked at the same historical data Happer has, BTW, I’m a physicist and consultant for NASA (this blog has nothing to do with that activity). I agree that CO2 levels are a following, not a leading trend of warming. This is likely due to the fact tha CO2 is slightly soluable in water with a negative solubility trend with temperature, (the warmer the water, the less CO2). Also, sea water temperatures are a lagging trend with air temperatures, conseqeuntly, one would expect the CO2 to evolve from the ocean to the atmosphere coincident with that lagging thermal hysteresis. There are also very competent researchers that correlate ice ages to the strength of the preceeding warming trend. The warmer the ocean, the greater the cloud cover and the depper the the following ice age.
Competent research also corroborates Happer’s statements about increased plant viability with increased CO2 levels. I believe there are important reasons to close the carbon cycle from a national security perspective, not from a misdirected GW perspecve.
