"Trump Hires Physicist Will Happer, Climate Science Critic, For NSC

"William Happer, a physics professor and vocal critic of mainstream climate science, has joined the White House as a top adviser.

Happer, 79, told E&E News in email that he began serving yesterday on the National Security Council as the senior director for emerging technologies. NSC officials confirmed Happer's new role but declined to provide further detail about the appointment, which CNN first reported.

When asked about his new NSC role, Happer said he would do his best to ensure that federal policy decisions 'are based on sound science and technology.'"
