The Grandfather Of Alt-Science
five thirty Eight ^ | Oct. 12, 2017 | Daniel Engber

Arthur B. Robinson, renegade chemist, failed politician, grandpa of the climate skeptics — and maybe, just maybe, our nation’s next scientist-in-chief — padded across the carpet of his homemade lab in a pair of white athletic socks. “This room, everything you see here, was built by my own sons with their own hands, including the concrete,” he said.

Now his wife is dead and one of his daughters has moved away, but the rest of his kids — two veterinarians, a biochemist and a pair of nuclear engineers — remain nearby.

But what else has she accomplished other than getting a guilty child rapist to be found not guilty by a technicality, and using insider trading to multiply 1,000.00 dollars into 100,000.00 almost overnight. I almost forgot, she was also an enabler of a President who liked to rape women and get physically abusive with them.

I wish he’d stick to science & stay out of politics. He has not helped the GOP in OR.

One doesn’t need a machine to measure the polarity of a light wave. What he is measuring is the electro optic effects of a component
