Woops, my bad. I see that Soon actually has no connection with Harvard.
“Though often described on conservative news programs as a “Harvard astrophysicist,” Dr. Soon is not an astrophysicist and has never been employed by Harvard. He is a part-time employee of the Smithsonian Institution with a doctoral degree in aerospace engineering. He has received little federal research money over the past decade and is thus responsible for bringing in his own funds, including his salary.”
I see a money-hungry, self-promoter at work who says what the fossil fuel industry pays him to say.
