"This renowned Princeton Physicist, William Happer, needs to talk to wharf rat and Land Carp." He needs to talk to fellow renowned physicists, like Hansen and Mann.

Rat and Carp don't mean any of the stuff they say they do. Carp has a massive carbon footprint with semi-annual flights to the tropics to frolic w/ little reef fish. No one who believed the CAGW line on CO2 would live his lifestyle. Rat would do the same but he can't afford it.

William Happer on Climate Science: “They’re glassy-eyed and they chant” Eric Worrall / 7 hours ago February 16, 2017 Guest essay by Eric Worrall Professor William Happer, who has been tipped as front runner to replace John Holdren as the Whitehouse Science Advisor, has described climate scientists as a glassy eyed cult. Trump’s likely science adviser calls climate scientists ‘glassy-eyed cult’ William Happer, frontrunner for job of providing mainstream scientific opinion to officials, backs crackdown on federal scientists’ freedom to speak out The man tipped as frontrunner for the role of science adviser to Donald Trump has described climate scientists as “a glassy-eyed cult” in the throes of a form of collective madness. William Happer, an eminent physicist at Princeton University, met Trump last month to discuss the post and says that if he were offered the job he would take it. Happer is highly regarded in the academic community, but many would view his appointment as a further blow to the prospects of concerted international action on climate change. “There’s a whole area of climate so-called science that is really more like a cult,” Happer told the Guardian. “It’s like Hare Krishna or something like that. They’re glassy-eyed and they chant. It will potentially harm the image of all science.” … Read more: theguardian.com Frankly I think this comparison is a bit harsh. I don’t know how Krishnas behave elsewhere, but in Australia Hare Krishnas are a bit of a fixture. I enjoy an occasional feed at one of their vegetarian restaurants. Occasionally they wander over to talk about their religion, but they are not pushy – they take “no” for an answer. I have never known a Hare Krishna to demand someone else live according to their principles. If climate scientists were that restrained about pushing their beliefs, about trying to inflict their life choices on others, I would have a lot less of a problem with the climate science community. wattsupwiththat.com
