What is amazing is that the committee allowed Dr. Happer to testify at all. What is not amazing is that I had to dig to find his testimony since the MSM refuses to report it at all.

It’s the old story “follow the money”. The CO2/Carbon Footprint argument is all about certain investors getting rich from it.

The Earth was born dry. The seas have been filling up, some say from constant bombardment from small ice comets that continually increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. If this is true, the sea levels will rise at the same constant rate until perpetuity or the universe runs out of ice.

Excellent summary!

The fact that he had to precede his statements with his resume’ shows how little weight the scientific method has in our society.

What prevails as science is who can lay claim to the most logical fallacies rather than the results of observation.

I’m sure the IRS will begin auditing him on Monday in retaliation for this statement.

I used to grind my teeth every time I saw that ad for natural gas or coal (I can't remember which) in which they called CO2 an "impurity."

Man, talk about pandering to the left and dumbing down the nation at the same time.

My name is William Happer, and I am the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics at Princeton University. I have spent my professional life studying the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases – one of the main physical phenomena behind the greenhouse effect. I have published over 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals. I am a member of a number of professional organizations, including the American Physical Society and the National Academy of Sciences. I have done extensive consulting work for the US Government and Industry. I also served as the Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy (DOE) from 1990 to 1993, where I supervised all of DOE's work on climate change.

So what?! Al Gore took a course in climate science in 1967 and was subsequently a divinity school dropout!

A warmer planet will support much more life than the current climate. If the very worst predictions of the global warming alarmists comes to pass (i.e. all glacial ice melts and ocean levels rise 267 feet), then there will be MORE arable land than there is today.

Ping and thanks for your replies on the last thread I started when Dr. Happer addressed the EPW.

[[Climate Depot’s Selected Highlights of Dr. Happer’s May 20, 2010 Congressional Testimony]]

Sadly, this info will never make it to the general public except in a few select forums like FR- TRhe truth about GW and CO2 must not be made public lest Feingold and others of his ilk lose their bid to extort trillions of dollars from the unsuspecting with their assinine ‘cap and tax’ scam

From the article:

***************************************EXCERPT*****************************************

Key Excerpts: The CO2 absorption band is nearly “saturated” at current CO2 levels.

Adding more CO2 is like putting an additional ski hat on your head when you already have a nice warm one below it, but you are only wearing a windbreaker. The extra hat makes you a little bit warmer but to really get warm, you need to add a jacket. The IPCC thinks that this jacket is water vapor and clouds. [...]

There is no evidence for the theory that rising carbon dioxide levels are the main cause of global warming.

I.E. if the Globe is warming then radiosonde measurement at the tropics should show such a fact.....
