Time for the knives to come out, someone's professional reputation is going to get murdered. Believers have to attack anyone who leaves the plantation and speaks out about so-called "global warming" because people might see through their nice scam and they'll lose their gravy train.
John Coleman is a retired TV weather clown. He has no degree in meteorology or science. Before retiring, he was the weatherman on one of our local television stations. He used to ask a nightly "weather question", and I had to correct him on more than one occasion. It turned out that on one of those occasions, he was too lazy to check on whether what he was saying was true or not. I wasn't that lazy and showed that he was wrong, which he admitted, but he didn't seem too concerned that he had given out false information. Remember when he claimed to be suing Al Gore and the IPCC? Haven't heard much of that, have you?
As for Will Happer, he is not a climate scientist, atmospheric physicist, fluid dynamicist, oceanographer, geologist or anything else remotely connected to climate. Many years ago he was a spectroscopist that worked on things like optical pumping. Interesting work, but it would have given him no special knowledge of climate.
He was also a member of JASON. If you haven't heard of JASON, it was a gathering of scientists (usually physicists) that would convene in the ritzy beach town of La Jolla, California to brainstorm on "big problems".It was funded by the Defense Department through DARPA. Freeman Dyson was also a JASON member and I think Fred Singer may have been connected to it, also. While JASON may have been a worthwhile experiment, it doesn't really have a stellar record of producing worthwhile science or technology, and it may have given some of its members and exaggerated view of their competence in fields other than their own.
Environmentalists never give up. You should know that by now. Hitler himself was a great environmentalist leader building all those autobahns and making them run on time. And Goebbels was Hitler's boss, Ha Ha Ha, along with Groucho Marx and John Lenin.
Environmentalists are just the latest incarnation of the shape-shifting Reptilian Illuminati Federal Reservers from Far Off Galaxies, ruling the earth from their Hollow Moon base. Before them were the Communists, like Margaret Thatcher.
Conventional weapons cannot stop them, not even Saddam's vast nuclear arsenal could have. The Klingons themselves were helpless against these fourth dimensional creatures.
But they have one great vulnerability: The internet!
It has taken True Scientists years of research to discover and refine this amazing breakthrough, but as irrational as it may seem, the creatures whose millennia-long interstellar conspiracy has been exposed and revealed over and over but always resurges again, can really be stopped. Key words are important, and they have to be repeated many times daily to be effective, but if done with skill, they are Kroyptonite to these superhuman extraterrestrial infiltrators: "Al Gore," "Goebbels," "Ha, Ha, Ha," and quotations (but NEVER EVER give a source for them). Stir repeatedly and baste onto page after page after thousand of Yahoo Answer pages. The less of a life one has, the less burdened by Reptilian Nobel Prize Committee Commie science, the more effective the True Scientists can be.
From your tabloid article: "THE debate about climate change is finished - because it has been categorically proved NOT to exist, one of the world's leading meteorologists has claimed. "
I'll repeat that last part of the phrase to enhance its' comic effect: "one of the world's leading meteorologists". LMAO That's like a chiropractor claiming brain tumors to be a hoax. The man's a total fool.
As for William Happer, a physicist specialized in optics; Happer doesn't say that Climate Change isn't happening (and thus contradicts 'leading meteorologist' Coleman); his stance is that increased atmospheric levels of CO2 is beneficial.
Edit Sage:
<<.. that is rather clear cut that Happer has gone on record about his views.>>
Views are worthless in the scientific community. If he is so convinced, he should write a paper about it and get it peer-reviewed and published. And that is exactly where he and all the other denier loudmouths fail. They write op-ed after blogpost using big words such as 'scam' and 'hoax' but not one of them has been able to refute the overwhelming evidence using the scientific method. Not a single one.
As for Happers views, they contradict Coleman's; Coleman says it is all a hoax while Happer acknowledges it is happening yet is beneficial. They contradict each other yet somehow your UK tabloid nor none of the deniers has any problem with that. Wow!
Yes, logic might dictate this, but don't expect for this to occur anytime soon. ; )
They won't give up as long as the federal grant money keeps flowing. That's the only reality they are interested in.
Clearly they are both "true scientists" and have all the credibility that goes with that title.
waiting for Donald Duck too.
