The climate change denier who once argued that the “demonization” of carbon dioxide was the same as the “demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler” is leaving the White House, E&E News was first to report.
William Happer, a retired Princeton physics professor, was serving as the deputy assistant for emerging technologies on the National Security Council for the past year. Earlier this year, President Trump tasked Happer with leading a new panel that would attempt to “peer review,” or discredit, climate science. Happer is known for arguing in support of the release of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, and he has claimed climate scientists are in a “cult” and that the world is experiencing a “CO2 famine.”
In July, the Trump administration announced it was nixing the panel Happer was meant to lead.
Happer’s departure comes just days after his boss, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, was ousted from the White House. Bolton reportedly was in favor of the anti-climate science panel and advocated for bringing Happer onboard.
The regime doesn’t need to pay extra money to Happer for something they can do themselves.
Hopefully, in the future, Princeton will choose their Physics profs more wisely.
Don’t worry Carbon Dioxide, there will still be plenty of whack-a-doodles lobbying for you…
So each time someone in ttump admin left, a bunch of others followed, even if there were no obvious conflicts (I don’t think climate change is controversial for rethugs). Can someone tell me if this is normal?
He’s stepping down to spend more time infiltrating chemical cults of every stoichiometry, kidnapping and reprogramming those poor souls who have formed unhealthy bonds.
Hopefully he’s leaving to go suck on an exhaust pipe to show his love for CO2.
