The story as it is:

However, apparently Happer hasn't actually 'taken a dime', though he was content to allow the faux-companies to fund his organization.


baleen - 2015-12-10

I would say being paid 0 an hour for climate science debunking ammo, which he directs to establishing a think tank geared toward climate science "skepticism," is less than honorable. The link you posted doesn't address the accusation that Happer was paid k for an hour of his time at the hearing.

The organization is the shell corporation. That's his money, for all intents and purposes.

Yeah I will tinyurl like a big boy from now on.

baleen, I was just trying to clarify what his point-of-view is. He might be a skunk of a slightly different stripe.
But, yes, now I see the K from Peabody, and who knows how money into his org benefits him. He can probably throw an org event/party for all of his cronies without it being called his capital gains.

"The kind of people who have goatees" tag maybe?




The sad thing is that by making him lose his temper, they won.


Old_Zircon - 2015-12-10

Wait, I got my assholes mixed up, I guess the asshole from Princeton is a climate change denier and the asshole with the goatee is calling him out for being an industry pawn. So it's a happy thing that he lost.

He looks like a Batman villain.

This. It's all about the combination of crouch and snivel.

Dr. Strangelove was a cautionary tale, not a role model!

*Says it to his face*

"You wanna say that to his face?"
