NPR - Meet The White House's New Chief Climate Change Skeptic
March 1, 2019
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.
Happer became a physicist. He taught at Columbia University and joined the faculty at Princeton University in 1980.
"He is a damn good scientist," says Steven Koonin, a prominent physicist who is now a professor at New York University and who has known Happer for 30 years. "There are two really significant contributions associated with him."
One of them made it possible to capture much better images of people's lungs; the other allows astronomers to see the stars more clearly.
Happer scoffed at these fears, calling them an Alice-in-Wonderland fantasy. "When I got into this area and started learning about it, I learned that when I looked at CO2, I should assume that it caused harmful warming, extreme weather, Noah's flood, you know. I remember thinking, 'Are they mad?' "Carbon dioxide is actually good for the planet, Happer claims; it's like fertilizer and makes crops more productive.
"We've got to push back vigorously on the demonization of fossil fuels," he said in his speech. "They're not demons at all. They're enormous servants to us."

President Trump: "When the wind stops blowing, that is the end of your electric”
To the audience’s delight, Trump pretended to be someone’s spouse just hoping the wind blows so they can watch a little television.
“Darling, is the wind blowing today? I would like to watch television, darling.”
“It’s true,” Trump said after the crowd burst into laughter.

White House prepares to scrutinize intelligence agencies’ finding that climate change threatens national security
The White House is working to assemble a panel to assess whether climate change poses a national security threat, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post, a conclusion that federal intelligence agencies have affirmed several times since President Trump took office.
The proposed Presidential Committee on Climate Security, which would be established by executive order, is being spearheaded by William Happer, a National Security Council senior director. Happer, an emeritus professor of physics at Princeton University, has said that carbon emissions linked to climate change should be viewed as an asset rather than a pollutant.

The Secular Theology of the Green New Deal
In State of Fear, Crichton suggests that radical environmentalism is essentially a politically correct narrative designed to advance an agenda. The agenda is social control through irrational fear. As one of his characters puts it: “Industrialized nations provide their citizens with unprecedented safety, health, and comfort... Average life spans increased fifty percent in the last century. Yet modern people live in abject fear... [T]hey are convinced that the environment of the entire planet is being destroyed around them. Remarkable! Like the belief in witchcraft, it's an extraordinary delusion -- a global fantasy worthy of the Middle Ages.”Larry Kudlow: ‘We Have to Put Socialism on Trial’

EPA’s Andrew Wheeler: Green New Deal Activists Don’t Want American ‘Energy Domination’
The administrator noted that, since the EPA’s creation, the agency reduced pollution by nearly 75 percent, which he said that many environmentalists often fail to note.
Wheeler concluded, “There are six criteria air pollutants in the Clean Air Act; from the 1970s to today, the six criteria air pollutants have been reduced by 73 percent. Most environmentalists don’t talk about that; I don’t know why they don’t talk about that — our air is 73 percent cleaner compared to the 1970s. We have the safest drinking water of any country in the world, and they don’t talk about that either. It boggles the mind why they don’t acknowledge the good steps that we have taken and continue to take.”

Dr Happer, a true scientist, what a concept! No unicorn riding social justice warrior claiming that we're all going to die unless live like cavemen! Maybe they can stop the idiotic throwing money at these windmills!

Thanks Dr. Happer, thanks for helping to save us all.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
