Hopper has managed to mix together accurate science, inaccurate science, and innuendo (the analogy to the temperance movement). It reminds me of Lord Kelvin, a great physicist, who late in his career made various pronouncements about biology and archaeology based on his underestimation of the age of the earth. Here Hopper makes a similarly arrogant trip into climate dynamics, climate history, and marine biology. Incidentally Dr. Hopper, most coral is actually extremely sensitive to pH change.
His most obvious Big Lie is his glib attempt to equate the religious ladies who led the temperance movement with modern Scientific consensus. "The Evils of CO2?"
That seems to be an appeal to people who don't understand science, it is easy for them to somehow equate science with religion. It's human nature to insert what we know to fill the voids in our information. But it's often wrong.
The best vaccine against the great future propaganda wars is education. Please grow it.
Global Warming deniers deny Science and the scientific consensus. The question is pretty simple really.
You can believe Science, --or you can believe the opposite: ...politicians, Wall Street lobbyists, and talk show hosts. (This "scientist" and only 4 or 5 others finally found a way to get famous...Big Wow. Google him.)
Again: You can believe Science, --or you can believe politicians, Wall Street lobbyists, and talk show hosts. Tough choice, huh?
It never ceases to amaze me why those who support the hypothesis of anthropogenic climate change cannot stick to the Science. Having read many of the comments below, there is always a hostile tone directed towards those who dissent from the 'belief' in man-made global warming. For goodness sake, remain polite and express you're individual views with respect for those with whom you disagree. Whenever you fall back on insults - you're arguments lose all credibility.
Gosh. It is more than a year later and warming is progressing so fast. Heatwaves in Russia, melting glaciers, the Arctic ocean had more liquid water than ever in history.
Early this month (Oct 2010) Dr. William Happer agreed with Rep. Jay Inslee that Attorney General Cuccinelli should "knock it off" in his irrational pursuit of climate scientists...
Happer understands the difference between real science and the uninformed opinions of scientists. It takes a lot of courage to speak the truth at a time when so many blindly accept the propaganda of the climate-change fear-mongers as if it were a religion. There is a real danger that uninformed attempts to alter the climate or CO2 emissions will bring the true disaster, though a costly misallocation of global resources.
Generation Investment Management's founding partners are studded with officials from Goldman Sachs. They include David Blood, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM); Mark Ferguson, former co-head of GSAM pan-European research; and Peter Harris, who headed GSAM international operations
(Plus former Secretary of the Treasury (under George W Bush) & a former CEO of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson has ties also to Gore & GIM
Al Gore & Corporate friends set to make billions off of the Global Warming Scam
Al Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). According to Gore, the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are going green. Generation Investment Management, purchases -- but isnt a provider of -- carbon dioxide offsets
the truth is coming out and finally scientists are speaking out against this political global warming scam. the media is a joke! lie, lie, lie, however people don't do research, they just accept that man made global warming is a catastophy. only time with disprove these clowns. How come Al Gore cannot argue against a scientist. He couldn't even debate with Christopher Monckton. oh wait...Gore doesn't have any facts to back up his claims!!! frauds all based on innacurate models.

Having searched this mans name on google i have found that he is on the board of directors for an organisation that has recieved over $830,000 since 1989 - HE IS A CHARLATAN ... CO2 in the atmosphere will be good... really why does he think the earth hid it underground in the first place?

Okay this clown is completely stuck in the Pleistocene era when it comes to climate change and deserves a Darwin award for getting his suit and tie on.
Really? Do you have a PhD in atomic, molecular and optical physics? Have you spent your life studying the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases, the main phenomena behind the greenhouse effect? Have you published over 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals? Are you so clever that you trump the Professor of Physics at Princeton University in his own field, or are you just another poor, media-duped sucker?
@pseudotruth Browsing through the few I was able to find, it looks like they are largely concerned with, as he says, "the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases, the main phenomena behind the greenhouse effect."
He is not a climate scientist and has no relevant p/r articles in WoS ISI publications, therefore he is a fake expert - that is he has a title, he's a scientist, but not relevantly qualified. He is however fluent in pseudo-scientific bullshit. He is also the Director of the Marshall Institute, an organisation involved for decades in casting doubt on science and telling lies for the tobacco and fossil-fuel industries.
Happer claims that CO2 is plant food; apparently fails to understand that CO2 is a feedback and a forcing, which is the equivalent of maintaining that chickens do not lay eggs, because they have been seen to emerge from them.
