Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

About The Author
See CLIMATE MISINFORMATION BY SOURCE: WILLIAM HAPPER, at the Skeptical Science website. Not a single scientific institution on the planet agrees with Happer that more CO2 would be good for us or that today's climate change is "natural and harmless." Even his own American Physical Society with its over 50,000 physicist members disagrees. Go to their website and check out their 2021 position statement on climate change, in which they're "urging swift action" to mitigate the damage we're causing.
Happer is the former head of the CO2 Coalition, which has long been funded by the fossil fuel industry to promote the use of more gas and oil.
I totally agree and accept what Dr Happer says, it's pure sanity.
It's so sad that many otherwise intelligent people go along with the climate alarmism madness against CO2.
The only climate emergency will be coming from something supernatural and when it occurs the world will all think different and climate change will be the last thing thought about
Thank you 🙏 I so much enjoyed this lecture 🕊️🌟
Climate Change is a LIE!!!! The deep state cherry picks the data. The Sun is more active thus the planets…not just Earth is heating up. Climate Change is about wealth redistribution and population control. The WEF wants to reduce the world’s population by 7 billion.
Most people know that climate change is 100% BULLSHIT!
mother nature is in charge of EARTH not humans ,mother nature does NOT care about humans she is there to keep balance and she has done this for millions of years without humans help so for humans to think they are in charge is pathetic .
ELEVEN studies confirm the scientific consensus on climate change. ELEVEN. Over 80 academies of science and ALL of the world's major scientific institutions from NASA to the American Physical Society and its over 50,000 physicists publicly endorse the consensus findings, which is precisely why every nation on earth is a card-carrying member of the IPCC.
Warming global fake
Happer argues that the current concern over human-caused greenhouse gases is overblown.
Although he clearly understands basic climate science, his presentation includes claims that are
exaggerated, misleading, or incorrect regarding human-caused climate change. His presentation
is entertaining, but he argues in many places against claims that climate scientists do not make.
He acknowledges that CO2 has an influence on climate, but emphasizes that the influence is
small. Yet he gives no physical reason to conclude that the current scientific understanding on
the response of climate system to CO2 (the “climate sensitivity”) is wrong, other than to say that
he does not trust climate models. His claims that climate models do not work are exaggerated
and misleading. He also claims that increased CO2 will be beneficial by increasing plant growth
– it is true that plant growth will increase by the CO2 increase alone, but he does not show that it
will be beneficial, especially when climate is changing at the same time as CO2. His presentation
ignores the large number of studies available that show that through climate change, CO2 will be
detrimental to agricultural productivity as well as to human well-being generally.
I love the UN’s little thing. There is ZERO evidence that this minor warming trend has anything to do with humans. Yes, I do believe we play a role but not like they say. These “experts” use computer models that have NEVER been right yet. Plus they’re now saying, “GLOBAL BOILING!”🤣😆
Ohhh JUST STOP!
My biggest complaint, why do the “experts” refuse to debate actual scientists? 1100 Physicists, meteorologists, engineers, etc has begged to have an actual discussion at the UN/WEF and they refuse, WHY!? Bc it’s not about climate change, it’s about human control……
Are there no East coast scholars not from commiefornia ?
It is just possible to create accurate plans with time lines when need to made changes and in which countries, give propositions how to find financing for this, make audits after changes, and waste will be reduced and temperature will come to usual way.
Just need head plan, by numbers, for all planet, for reduce carbon waste on different plants.
Great lecture! I really appreciate the work Dr Happer has done!
By "misinformation" he means lies.
ELEVEN studies confirm the scientific consensus on climate change. ELEVEN. Over 80 academies of science and ALL of the world's major scientific institutions from NASA to the American Physical Society and its over 50,000 physicists publicly endorse the consensus findings, which is precisely why every nation on earth is a card-carrying member of the IPCC. Happer, by contrast, once worked on behalf of the oil industry when he headed the CO2 Coalition and has been robustly debunked in the scientific literature.
it's more than the difference between the red curve and black curve since there is also the direct heat we're generating by burning fossil fuels which is releasing energy received by the earth over millennia. It's not just the energy absorbed from the sun. Prof. Happer does not account for this significant source of heat. We do see an increase of temperatures and we are not prepared for the consequences. Climate models make not all agree but the models all show a dramatic increase in temperatures, no matter the cause. A hothouse is great for plants but do we want to live in one?
Wonderful lecture! I find it ironic that some Governments pushing the Carbon crisis target the oil and gas sector but continue to mine and ship coal to other countries despite those countries asking for natural gas / oil which would produce far less pollutants than the Coal plants these countries currently use. I suspect this in large part is a power play. Since this lecture was done, scientists have come up with ways to reduce the carbon emissions of cement by adding it back in during the manufacturing process. As well, scientist have recently discovered it's not just the leaves and roots of trees that store carbon but the bark as well. And even the Oil and gas sector has progressed to capture far more pollutants than they did historically. And I too find it impossible to talk to most people about question of a climate crisis. Rather than investigate the science, I believe I'm put in the group of conspiracy theorist.
It is also strange no media on the magnetic pole movement ie: perhaps has moved now around 150 Kilometers . Which would make perfect sense to world climate events. I am not sure how this would effect the water conveyer belt that circulates around the continents, and the effects that would bring regarding sun and moon positioning. But I am guessing when we put all that together and work out what that effect equates to. Then finally perhaps we can expel the carbon lie and the agendas the globalists are seeking to implement.
Carlton Sagan advised the US Congress in 1982 that CO2 caused the earth to be 30C hotter than it would have been without CO2. Burning fossil fuels has increased CO2 by 50% thus adding extra heat to hot areas. The thermal differentials give us wild destructive events.
The greening we are seeing to is due to rain and flooding in arid areas. Heat waves are heading to temperature beyond human tolerance. Higher frequency and increase intensity of damaging climate events are happening now. If CO2 at 280 ppm adds how can you say that changing CO2 has no impact?
See CLIMATE MISINFORMATION BY SOURCE: WILLIAM HAPPER, at the Skeptical Science website. Not a single scientific institution anywhere on earth agrees with him that more CO2 would be "good for us." NONE. NADA. ZILCH. Even his own American Physical Society disagrees.
