Trump May Pick A Prominent Global Warming Skeptic As His Science Czar(yes please)
dailycaller.com ^ | 1/16/2017 | Michael Bastasch

President-elect Donald Trump met with a Princeton University physicist and skeptic of man-made global warming who observers believe could be the next White House science czar.

Trump met with Dr. Will Happer in New York City Friday. Happer didn’t take any questions entering or leaving Trump Tower last week, so it’s hard to say what the meetings were about. Trump has yet to fill key energy and science roles in his administration.

Happer served as the director of the Office of Energy Research at the Energy Department under former President George H.W. Bush. Trump could ask Happer to head the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy or even sit on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Trump has already taken heat from environmentalists for appointing “climate deniers” to his cabinet, but skeptics of man-made global warming were delighted to hear of the meeting.

I like your comparison of Global Warming belief to mysticism.

Would be quite AWESOME to have someone who actually pays attention to the SCIENCE in that office, rather than someone who simply panders to environmentalist wackos.


Yes, this should simply be turned into a positive for Trump.

“My new adviser is receptive to being persuaded that Climate Change is real using proven scientific methods, data and honest public debate”.

It would make their heads spin...:^)

I hope the Science Czar is skeptical about ANY bandwagon science. A non-skeptical scientist is an alchemist or mystic.


Even if it’s Settled Science?

I love your icons. When the Naples volcano finally blows, and spews 10 industrial revolutions worth of carbon dioxide into the upper atmosphere, is the Filthy Liars Climate PseudoScience Establish going to notice it or mention it?

Ignore it. Global warming is a religious belief on the order of the Nongqawuse millennialist movement:

Good analogy but here’s where it breaks down:

“Nongqawuse predicted that the ancestors’ promise would be fulfilled on February 18, 1857, when the sun would turn red. On that day the sun rose the same colour as every other day, and the prophecy was not realised. Initially, Nongqawuse’s followers blamed those who had not obeyed her instructions, but they later turned against her.”

The Global Warming Spiritualists continually and continuously change the specifics of their predictions, and in fact, have become quite adept at using any random event (weather related, or not) as PROOF that their predictions have ALREADY COME TO PASS.

The second problem with the analogy is that the Xhosa people were able to discern that the sun had not turned red.

The brain-damaged liberals who follow the Global Warming Spiritualists around will believe that the current color of the sun IS red... if Al Gore tells them it is.

It appears that Wikipedia edited out the worst parts of the story. It’s very sad that they continue to censor history.

The full story about Nongqawuse is how she got them to double down 3 times when her initial prophecy didn’t come true. She had her followers root out anyone who didn’t destroy all their food and put them to death. By the time the 3ed date came and past the entire nation of the Xhosa was dying of starvation. It was only thanks to the kindness of the Boers who took pity and fed the survivors that any lived.

My point is, they’ll double down on global warming to the point of killing us all.

That is amazing that they edited out so much. The way you tell it, it does sound like our global warming liars, who are definitely out to kill mankind (though not themselves, unfortunately).

It’s really frustrating to me. I helped build up some the initial Wikipedia content. Back then there was an huge amount of historical content from all perspectives that had amazing detail and depth with great sources. Today anything that’s not PC gets edited bit by bit until all the meat is gone and there’s very little to learn from it.

The fact that those evil white devils stepped in to save some starving black angels... well, we just can’t have the world knowing THAT.
