World In Midst of Carbon Drought (w/ Prof. William Happer, Princeton University)
Aug 27, 2019 02:43:29 #
We’re in a carbon drought.
That is according to Professor William Happer of Princeton University. The renowned physicist says when it comes to carbon dioxide, there’s more good than bad. He goes on to say most of carbon dioxide’s effect has already happened. He points to the logarithmic dependence of temperature on carbon dioxide levels.
Happer says the unique properties of carbon dioxide mean that current levels would need to double for another one-degree increase in temperature and they’d have to double again for another one degree rise.

"Happer is back in the White House, still fighting against what he considers unfounded claims that our globe is in danger. But this time, his cause is backed by the man in the Oval Office.
Happer, 79, joined the staff of President Trump's National Security Council last fall. And according to documents first leaked to The Washington Post, he appears to be pushing the White House to mount a challenge to the government's official assessment of climate change, which calls climate change a serious national security threat.
On Thursday, the chairs of four different committees in the House of Representatives sent a letter to President Trump expressing concern about "recent reports that the National Security Council (NSC) is planning to assemble a secret panel, led by a discredited climate change denier, to undermine the overwhelming scientific consensus on the nature and threats of climate change."
The four Democrats called it "deeply concerning that Dr. Happer appears to be spearheading" that effort."

"Group of 7, Minus Trump
The leaders of the major economies tiptoed around the irascible and unpredictable American president."
"More noteworthy than the token action was the fact that President Trump skipped the session at which it was taken, which happened to be devoted to climate, oceans and biodiversity.
Even more noteworthy was that neither French President Emmanuel Macron, the convener of this year’s summit and champion of action on the Amazon fires, nor hardly anyone else seemed to find this particularly disturbing.
In fact, they seemed relieved. Other American officials were there, said Mr. Macron, and it had never been his goal to challenge Mr. Trump’s climate denialism.
In fact, he said he and the American president had a “long, rich and totally positive” discussion on the Amazon fires. Maybe they did, but by now Mr. Macron should know better than most that the Trump who likes being agreeable face to face can quickly turn mean at a distance."

Who paid for the research leading to these ‘current opinions’ you speak of?

Actually it’s solid science.
It’s the Goremons who are science deniers.

The CO2 Coalition, established by William Happer has received more than $1 million from energy executives and conservative foundations that fight regulations since it was founded four years ago.
The group is stacked with researchers who cast doubt on climate science.
Other members have spent years fighting regulations that would reduce fossil fuel consumption.

Happer co-founded the CO2 Coalition in 2015 after spinning it off from the now-defunct George C. Marshall
Institute, which raised doubts about climate science and received almost $1 million in grants from Exxon Mobil Corp.

“Happer would be a fringe figure even for climate skeptics,” David Titley, a retired US Navy rear admiral and Penn State meteorology professor, told the AP. Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb added that Happer’s “false, unscientific notions about climate change represent a danger to the American people.”

And the Goremons have received billion$.
I live near a major US research base and it is well known that if you want funding for a project to be fast tracked just add 'AND ITS IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE' to the title.

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree:
Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities.
In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.
The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources

Why do you lie?
The 97% lie has been shot down ad nauseum ... it in reality was something like 50 out of 10,000 equals 97% ... read a book.
