As a reminder, Happer was refuted by MacCracken in 2011.
In yesterday's Washington Post article "White House prepares to scrutinize intelligence agencies’ finding that climate change threatens national security," Francesco Femia, chief executive of the Council on Strategic
Risks and co-founder of the Center for Climate and Security, was quoted
“This is the equivalent of setting up a committee on nuclear-weapons
proliferation and having someone lead it who doesn’t think nuclear
weapons exist [. . .] It’s honestly a blunt-force political tool
designed to shut the national security community up on climate change.”
Happer is an extremely bad choice. If Trump's plan proceeds, I imagine space aliens watching and remarking "It's too late. Their brains are fried."
Dennis Silverman, a retired Professor of Physics and Astronomy at U C Irvine, has a good blog post about Happer.
