Just when you thought that the internet had pretty much plumbed the depths of all possible dumb Holocaust analogies, along comes CNBC guest "expert" William Happer, who somehow is a professor in physics at Princeton and also a global warming denier.
Business types don't believe this stuff. They just like it because it sounds better than "Lalalala I can't hear you lalalala!"
<blockquote>Because while science isn&rsquo;t a matter of &ldquo;belief,&rdquo; [...]</blockquote> Thank you. This whole phrasing (do you <b>believe</b> in climate change?) has been driving me nuts since day one. It makes the subject sound like a matter of faith and degrades it down to where it seems to exist on an equal footing with pseudoscience, like climate denial.
Science isn&#039;t a belief system but a methodical approach to inquiry that provides an overarching procedural framework for people who are attempting to discover factual things in the observable universe.
I&#039;m sorry if I repeat anybody, I&#039;m slightly too drunk to read all the comments.
This schmuck is, indeed, a physicist. He has done some reasonable work in adaptive optics. As regards global warming, his credibility is roughly the same as mine (B.S., Physics, U Wisconsin 69), because the except for the shit in which you specialize, you are a fucking civilian.
I mean, for fuck&#039;s sake, goddam Freeman Dyson is a fucking climate skeptic. Progressive dementia is a motherfucker.
Just to add a depressing note, before the Nazis happened upon Zyklon B, they used truck exhaust - essentially, a mixture of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide - to gas Jews in concentration camps.
So the whole Jews = carbon dioxide analogy just might not be in the best of taste.
It always worked for Billo Reilly.

OK, so what&#039;s your triple point, anyway?

I think that one guy that time, when was it? ... ah, fuck it
Poor Princeton. First that terrible Princeton Mom, and now this asshole.
Analogy - confusing. Head spinning.....
