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!

Read his full testimony on the first pdf link. He throws in a disclaimer that his opinions are his own and not those of PU or any scientific organization with which he is a member. IOW, brave though he is to testify, he has been sufficiently cowed. The alarmists at PU and within the scientific have robbed him of his well earned authority and creditability as opposed to Gore’s unearned authority and creditability on the subjest. I’d say “what a shame” but its more terrifying than that when the scientific community is reduced to these circumstances.

“Al Gore took a course in climate science in 1967”

As a sophomore at Harvard Gore got a “D” in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature), and then got a “C+” in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year.
