ORWELL AND GORE

Talk about an eye-opening article in Monday's Daily Princetonian about the latest opinions of Princeton physics professor William Happer, a former senior researcher at the Energy Department who was fired by Al Gore, reportedly over his refusal to support the former vice president's views on climate change.

To recap, Mr. Happer was among more than 650 scientists and researchers who several weeks ago requested that they be added to a list of "global warming" dissenters appearing in a U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee report.

In a statement accompanying his request, Mr. Happer said: "I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect, for example, absorption and emission of visible and infrared radiation, and fluid flow. Based on my experience, I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken."

In his interview with writer Raymond Brusca, Mr. Happer argued that carbon dioxide is not warming the planet: "Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Every time you exhale, you exhale air that has 4 percent carbon dioxide. To say that that's a pollutant just boggles my mind. What used to be science has turned into a cult."
