More CO2 in the atmosphere ‘will benefit the world,’ according to William Happer.
A panel being assembled by the administration of President Donald Trump to study the effects of climate change on national security is set to include an outspoken denier of global climate change, according to a report in the Independent .
A White House memo dated February 14 drafted by Trump’s staff has created an executive order to create a 12-member committee to examine the growing threat of climate change on national security. That panel will include William Happer, a Princeton physicist and well-known climate change denier who has frequently been at odds with well-established science on the reality of climate change.
No other committee members have as yet been named apart from Happer.
Happer, who also serves on the National Security Council, has drawn the fire of scientists for his views that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually good for humans.
