Since you cited a scientist and I said he's not who you said he is it would be more useful for you to first prove he is who you say he is. I said he's not an expert on climate science. You say he is. Give me your proof.

Princeton

If you want to say he's NOT an expert but someone worth listening to because of his vast experience in other science then begin there - with the truth and then we can agree or disagree on using him as a source for climate change.

There are other scientists who are not climatologists we might agree on who are far more qualified.

I'd suggest Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist or Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist.

Happer seems intellectually flawed. For example, we took major steps to stop fluorocarbons many decades ago which appear to have caused fixes in the ozone layer. We also put in place regulations over many decades that cleaned the air and water. In his world, he appears to ignore the fact that we made major changes BEFORE republicans turned their party against science. If predictions made in the past are wrong it's because we saw those predictions and acted upon them.

Notice zzpat only knows tv scientists who are not real scientists but entertainers.

He should have recommended Big Bird as his go to climate science expert.

"Happer is an expert "

According to the judge, he's an expert in bullshitting. The same holds true for Lindzen and Spencer.

Judge rules: Drs. Spencer, Lindzen, Happer are not credible expert witnesses!
