As opposed to what he is every other day?

So where's the research and the published papers from William "Exxon" Happer? I'd like to see them since they aren't linked in that article.

I'll just leave this here though...feel free to read through it.

Letter sent to Wall Street Journal on March 27, 2012 in reply to Dr. William Happer’s op-ed: Global Warming Models Are Wrong Again which should have been titled “Dr. William Happer is Wrong Again”. My LTE has not been published. I am not surprised.

Scientists tell us that heat-trapping carbon emissions are rising, as are global temperatures, sea levels and the risks associated with climate change. But regular readers of the Wall Street Journal’s opinion page are likely to have exactly the opposite impression.

By my count, over more than a two year period starting in late 2008, the Journal published only 4 opinion pieces that supported the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, but 39 that questioned it, attacked scientists or otherwise misrepresented scientific findings. Those trends have continued in recent months. Meanwhile, 97 percent of publishing climate scientists agree that human activities are significantly altering our climate. And our own National Academy of Sciences tells us, “Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for—and in many cases is already affecting—a broad range of human and natural systems.”

The latest op-ed attempting to contradict the science is from physicist William Happer who makes the classic mistake of cherry-picking an individual year and counting forward from there to make spurious claims about global temperature trends.

In reality, the past 35 years have all been hotter than average globally, meaning half of all Americans have never even lived during a year with average or below-average temperatures. Four independent scientific agencies confirm the unmistakable warming trend, as did an analysis (the BEST project) from a former climate change skeptic.

The Journal’s readers would benefit from more high-quality information about the science and less spin from ideologues.

sea level hasn't changed one bit in Florida, California and Hawaii in 20 years.....I go there every year

Thanks professor, I look forward to your paper.

Thanks professor, I look forward to your paper.

none of those beach front hotels are under water....or even close....

Actually sea levels are rising at all the places you mentioned:

The facts are obviously biased.

sure they try to debunk him....but Roy Spencer is probably the best scientist out there

Lol, did you even read anything?

 

[tsmith7559]

Lol, did you even read anything?

I read they said the climate is warming...yet the tempatures havent rose in 15 years???

 

[elrod817]

Lol, did you even read anything?

Why would he? He's been measuring sea levels himself in California, Hawai'i, and Florida for 20 years coupled with Roy Spencer being his favorite scientist (even has his rookie card), there's no point in reading such factual information.

The global average temperature in 2011 was 14.52 degrees Celsius (58.14 degrees Fahrenheit). According to NASA scientists, this was the ninth warmest year in 132 years of recordkeeping, despite the cooling influence of the La Ni?a atmospheric and oceanic circulation pattern and relatively low solar irradiance. Since the 1970s, each subsequent decade has gotten hotter—and 9 of the 10 hottest years on record have occurred in the twenty-first century.
