Will Happer is back. This time he’s fighting methane rules
By Scott Waldman
A climate skeptic with ties to the White House is back — this time as the co-author of a new paper that could help the Trump administration roll back climate rules.
William Happer, an emeritus Princeton University physics professor, previously worked within the White House to conduct a hostile review of climate science. While that effort didn’t go far, Happer at the same time worked on research into methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Happer and his co-author, William van Wijngaarden, worked “quickly†to put together research that claims that fears of methane emissions as a driver of climate change are overwrought, said van Wijngaarden, a physicist at York University in Canada.
