Happer, the Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics, said in an interview. “Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Every time you exhale, you exhale air that has 4 percent carbon dioxide. To say that that’s a pollutant just boggles my mind. What used to be science has turned into a cult.”--

Few remarks:

the first one is an argument '''Happer served as director of the Office of Energy Research in the U.S. Department of Energy under President George H.W. Bush''':(

Second one: The basics of global warming theory (so the why it occurs) or quite simple* so also quite simple to discard. A group of 10 sceptical professors could easily write a report with good arguments if they are right about the fact that global warming doesn't exist (and please don't start with the conspiracy theories about those scientist being not given a fair chance to publish in the major journals.....apart from the last 15 years, 'no global warming' was the standard).

*the estimates of how the climate change will be, and how much the sea will rise are of course much more difficult to make.

Third: the problems I have in these discussions (and these experts that say such things) is that everytime another point of the global warming theory is wrong: first they say there is no global warming, then they say there is but it is not because of CO2 but because of the suns fluctuations, then it is CO2 but not our ('man made') CO2 etc. etc. (this is not directed at this discussion on the lounge by the way)
