There is no climate crisis: Tom Harris
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
First I think, who the fuck is this Tom Harris?
So I check and of course he's an ex-tobacco lobbyist and now an oil industry lobbyist paid by the Heartland institute.
Right wingers are such easy marks.
Tom Harris is the Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), a group of climate change skeptics that has received funding from the Heartland Institute. Before starting work with ICSC, Harris was the Executive Director of the now-defunct Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP). [, [3]
Prior to working with the NRSP, Harris was a Former Director of Operations at the Canadian PR and lobbying firm called the High Park Group (HPG). Previously, Harris was an Associate with APCO Worldwide, a group known for creating The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC) which worked to advance tobacco industry interests. [4], [48]

what will not be shocking is the loonies will attack Tom Harris character rather than the scientific facts Harris discusses
B. Eng. , M. Eng. (Mech., thermofluids and energy sciences).
Previously, Harris was an Associate with APCO Worldwide, a group known for creating The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC) which worked to advance tobacco industry interests. [4], [48]
According to Harris’s archived profile at APCO Worldwide, “Specifically, he has worked with oil and gas, coal, nuclear, environmental and aerospace clients for whom he has conducted effective media and public relations campaigns.” His profile also highlights how he has “worked with private companies and trade associations to successfully position these entities and their interests with media and before various government committees and regulatory bodies.” [68]
The Heartland Institute describes Harris as “perhaps the most frequently cited and interviewed critic of exaggeration and alarmism in the global warming debate, appearing thousands of times on online news forums and being regularly published in newspapers in Canada and the U.S. and occasionally in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and other countries.” [5]
In other words, he's a mouth-whore for Big Oil and used to be a mouth-whore for Big Tobacco. He has no fucking climate science credentials whatsoever.

It's pretty obvious that he has no climate science expertise and has built his entire life's career on being a PR expert and "professional interviewee" on shitty shows like Fox.
B. Eng. , M. Eng. (Mech., thermofluids and energy sciences).
he understands the science a whole lot better than you
again, just as predicted the loonies will attack character rather than the scientific facts Harris discusses.
you are pathetic
"Argument from Authority" is never a good start for any discussion.....
As a self-proclaimed scientist, you should know that.....
By the way, where is the PhD?
Stating he has a master's in engineering with expertise in thermofluids and energy is a very legitimate response to a scientific know nothing claiming Mr. Harris
again why don't you question the science Harris discussed?
my guess is you do not understand it
