Yeah, he'll get right to the bottom of that enduring mystery . . .

William Happer failed at the chance of his lifetime. A notorious climate change science skeptic, Happer, 80, recently left the Trump administration after the White House killed his plan to create a panel to challenge government assessments of global warming. But Happer remains undeterred, confident that President Trump, the most vocal climate change skeptic to occupy the White House, is naturally inclined to come around to the idea.

"Hard things often take a long time,” Happer told the Washington Examiner in his first interview since leaving the administration in September. "I hope it's in my lifetime.” Happer is as eager as ever to challenge the climate science consensus, calling it a "completely imaginary threat that doesn't exist. People are afraid to stand up and say that.”

EDIT

Happer drew outrage in 2014 for declaring in an interview that "demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler." Happer said the statement “was not meant to be in any way anti-Semitic” but that he was sorry he said it. Nevertheless, he stood by the comparison, invoking his father's service in the Scottish military in World War II to say that he feels strongly about opposing "fanaticism."

EDIT

Happer said he’d consider returning to the Trump administration, if asked, to press his case after the election, but he’s not “coveting it.” He said, though, that he's become more sensitive to criticism. “When the history of this period is written, I want historians to say not everyone was corrupt,” Happer said. “So, I want to look good in history. I have no doubt that I will, but I am realistic about these things.”

Ed. - emphasis added - oh, and Awwwwww!!! Poor sensitive baby!!!!!
