Quote of the Week: Dr. Will Happer's blowback to Greenpeace during ambush at Senate hearing today

In case you missed it, earlier today, co-founder of Greenpeace, Dr. Patrick Moore said today that he’s calling in the FBI on Greenpeace for what he perceives as RICO/racketeering violations in their lame attempt to get Dr. Happer “on the take”.

Dr. Happer also said to the Greenpeace “reporter” who ambushed him in the hearing room, Jesse Coleman:

“You son of a bitch, I haven’t taken a dime.”

Russell Cook notes in  the YouTube video comments section:

After 20+ years of failing to come up with evidence that skeptic climate scientists are paid to lie by industry people, nothing telegraphs that failure better than fabricating the evidence out of thin air right now.

 

Watch the video:

Dr. Moore said earlier in his FBI press release that:

I shall also be asking the Bureau to investigate Greenpeace’s sources of funding. It is now an enemy of the State, an enemy of humanity and, indeed, an enemy of all species on Earth.

Given their money, their tactics, and their methods, I’m inclined to agree.

ummm, ummm, dang, that was fun to watch!

Did these murderous clowns even WATCH the video they posted? (I say murderous because of all the people who’ve died from malaria or gone blind from vitamin A deficiency thanks to post-Moore Greenpeace.)

Greenpeace exposes sceptics hired to cast doubt on climate science
Guardian 7 hours ago
Over the course of their investigation, Greenpeace posed as the representative of a Middle Eastern oil and gas company and an Indonesian coal company. In the guise of a Beirut-based business consultant they asked William Happer , the Cyrus Fogg Brackett professor of physics at Princeton University, to write a report touting the benefits of rising carbon emissions, according to email exchanges between the professor and the fake company.
So Greenpeace acknowledges that it believes in dogma: there are many benefits of higher CO2, but they’re not compatible with the religion. Are they that stupid? They can’t disappear all of the published science to accuse Dr Happer of bias.

The story is from the Guardian, so who knows if it’s accurate…

Sting operation uncovers two prominent climate sceptics available for hire by the hour to write reports on the benefits of rising CO2 levels and coal

It’s difficult to imagine how delusional this activist is. A nobody (probably un-educated) accusing a renowned and respected physicist like Dr Happer of being ‘on the take’ simply because Dr Happer has the guts to stand up to their pseudo-science!

Is it true that Kenji is demanding a retraction of this unwarranted slur on his family? He reportedly objects to the guilt by association with jackals.

I’m sure it won’t be long until the Alarmists start resorting to violence. They are getting pretty desperate.

Indeed. They are loud because they are angry, and they are angry because they are losing.
Violence is the next step.

The watermelons refuse to identify when the earth’s past climate was ideal. It’s getting slightly warmer. I like it. I call the change Climate Milding. The mean global temp last year was 14.7 C. San Diego is 17.7. People love San Diego climate: it has been called the best climate in the world. The current global mean temp is below optimal.

I just sent Professor Happer a note advising him not to touch anyone from Greenpeace.
It looked to me as though Coleman was goading Happer into attacking him, making things look like how the godless Westboro Baptist Church tries to be assaulted (i.e. “unwanted” touching). A lot of their operation money comes from suing people for assault, suing police departments for lack of protection, etc.
I passed on these URLs describing some of the tactics:

I read this guy’s analysis…very interesting and compelling. You might be right about Greenpeace’s motives. You touch one of their people and they will have a field day with it…probably help raise LOTS of money.

I wrote a cheque a number of years ago through my oil and gas exploration company to the Alberta based Pembina Institute, an Alberta Greenpeace/Sierra Club affiliate that protests everything fossil fuel related. They had no problem cashing the cheque. Ironic, eh?

If that was the plan, then the Greenpeace guy definitely failed the courage test. Dr. Happer clearly asked the guy to step closer… GreenGuy wanted to keep his teeth.

I think that if this had gone on another minute, Mark would have lifted the little twerp up by his ears and thrown him back down the hole he popped up from, something the twerp’s mother should have done long ago. As an expert in musicals Steyn is tougher than he looks.

Funny, the alarmists accuse skeptical scientists of “having links to Big Oil”.
But, when Lord Oxburgh steps in to provide an whitewashing “independent review” of the climategate revelations, all the alarmist clones are satisfied that it’s case dismissed, nothing to see here.
Suddenly they cherish the views of Lord Oxburgh.
Well, nobody can sensible accuse Lord Oxburgh of “having links to Big Green”.
Because HE IS BIG GREEN!!!
I could have made the same observation about our friend Mr Gore. But just look at the head of the “independent” review that “cleared” the climategate crew:
“Oxburgh has paid directorships of two renewable energy companies, and is a paid advisor to Climate Change Capital, the Low Carbon Initiative, Evo-Electric, Fujitsu, and an environmental advisor to Deutsche Bank. Last month we revealed that Oxburgh had failed to declare his directorship of GLOBE, an international network of legislators with ties to the Club of Rome.”
BUT APPARENTLY – THAT’S ALL FINE. And we are to accept that the climategate villains were thus exonerated of all misdemeanors.
Because, we must assume that in the topsy turvy world of the eco-fascists – being paid giant amounts of cash money for your role in bleeding the regular energy consumer of enforced and unnecessary tariffs/taxes for over-priced bullshit – that’s all well and good. The work of angels, indeed.
I picked on Lord Oxburgh – but we could list many other examples:

Is it possible that Prof. Happer could get a restraining order on Mr Coleman and Greenpeace? Would it hold across State lines?

Greenpus are the lowest of the low, the-ends-justify-the-means cadre of eco-fascists. Somehow I doubt they’ll be investigated though, at least not under the Obama regime.

December 9, 2015 8:59 am

Sorry to belabour the point.
The Alarmed Ones, professional planet savers and self appointed do-gooders are beyond parody.
A sane rational person could not write fictitious characters as FUBARed as these creatures are in reality.
The Emperors New Clothes, describes human behaviour, unchanged in centuries.
Now as we mature, we mostly come to realize that we can’t cure stupid.
But you can’t allow stupid to steer in shoal waters.
Greenpeace is a bureaucracy, has been a useful tool for extorting taxpayer moneys for years.
They believe they are untouchable and protected.
Of course they are above the law, they are special, in their own eyes.
Professional protesters are pretty special too, never having had to produce anything useful to their fellow man, they are career politicians, who fear the “peoples choice”.

You could only agree with Moore – Greenpeace is an enemy of humanity.

Don’t forget Greenpeace’s campaign’s attempt to invalidate the Oregon Petition:
Only one false name has ever appeared on the petition. It was put there by Ozone Action (now Greenpeace USA) and removed immediately thereafter.

I am impressed by Happer and Moore. Look how they faced the Greenpeace’s tactic of entrapping Happer with intent to discredit him and thereby attempt to neutralize his devastating skeptical critique of the CAGW hypothesis.
Happer and Moore wonderfully went into IAO** mode.
** IAO = Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Note: thanks to that line by character Sgt. Gunny Highway, it was the first I heard of that old US Marine saying.

Watching the video, I was disgusted by the warmist politician’s shouting down of Dr Curry exercising her right of reply. Because she was cutting him to pieces, and of the two, only she has the expertise. As for that greenpeace interloper, words fail me. Though they did not fail Prof Happer, while the greenpeace invitee was a no-show.. Just shows ya. Bye bye Bunny, just keep digging that hole through to. China, where a stewpot awaits. Same in Texas….
