Background

According to his biography at the Seventh International Conference on Climate Change, Harold Doiron is known for his experience in eliminating unstable vibrations in liquid propellant rockets.

He organized and led the NASA/industry team, titled the “Pogo Prevention Panel”
that successfully eliminated this pogo stick vibration problem from the Space Shuttle design.

Stance on Climate Change

According to an open letter signed by Doiron,

“We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated… . With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.”³Gus Lubin. “49 Former NASA Scientists Send A Letter Disputing Climate Change,” Business Insider, April 11, 2012.

Key Quotes

“Public policy decisions with potential major changes to energy use in the USA to affect climate change, should have more engineering input … The Physics, chemical, biological and heat transfer processes involved in Climate Change modeling and analysis are similar to large, complex systems familiar to Aerospace Engineers.”⁴“JSC NAL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE” (PDF), NASA Alumni League JSC Chapter.

Key Deeds

February 4, 2018

In January 2018, more than 200 scientists endorsed an open letter calling on the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to remove climate change denier Rebekah Mercer from its board and to “end ties to anti-science propagandists and funders of climate science misinformation.” The New York Times reported that those among the AMNH letter calling for Mercer to step down were Michael E. Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, and Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University.⁵Robin Pogrebin and Somini Sengupta. “A Science Denier at the Natural History Museum? Scientists Rebel,” The New York Times, January 25, 2018. Archived February 13, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/tAIv4

Doiron was among a group of climate change deniers who responded with their own open letter, calling for the AMNH “not to cave in to this pressure.” The letter was signed by numerous individuals with ties to groups funded by the Mercer Family Foundation such as Will Happer of the CO2 CoalitionRichard Lindzen, a fellow at the Cato InstituteCraig Idso, the chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change. There are a number of signatories affiliated with the Heartland Institute, which has received over $5.78 million from the Mercer Family Foundation since 2008.⁶Graham Readfearn. “Climate Science Deniers Defend New York’s American Museum of Natural History From Calls to Drop Trustee Rebekah Mercer,” DeSmog, February 6, 2018.

The letter reads:⁷mnh18-feb4-petitionletter (PDF – Untitled). Retrieved from Watts Up With That.

“The Earth has supported abundant life many times in the geological past when there were much higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is quite likely that future generations will benefit from the enrichment of Earth’s atmosphere with more carbon dioxide.

“Make no mistake, the agitators are not defending science from quackery — quite the contrary!”

November 9, 2017

Doiron was listed as a speaker at the Heartland Institute’s “America First Energy Conference” at the Marriott Hotel in Houston, Texas. Doiron spoke on Panel 2A “Energy and National Security.” His speech was titled “Climate Alarmists are a Threat to Our National Security”:⁸“HAL DOIRON,” America First Energy Conference.

“At the America First Energy Conference, we plan to examine—one year and one day after Trump’s shocking Election Day victory—the following:

“Where does Trump’s America First Energy Plan stand?

“How much progress has been made in implementing it, and what remains to be done?

“What scientific and economic evidence is there that the plan is putting the nation on the right path for economic growth, environmental protection, or both?”¹⁰“About,” America First Energy. Archived October 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/8bTTJ

In a fundraising letter obtained by DeSmog, Fred Palmer had promoted the event as having the goal to “review the scientific and economic evidence that exposes the fraud inherent in the Obama-era regulation regime” while discussing “the overwhelming benefits of fossil fuels to us all.”¹¹October 2017 Fundraising letter by Fred Palmer.

Harold Doiron is a signatory to an open letter to Pope Francis on climate change. The letter invites the Pope to reconsider his views on climate change before his upcoming encyclical letter on the environment, which is widely expected to call for measures to prevent climate change in the interests of the world’s poor.

The open letter was coordinated and signed by Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance. According to the letter, “Good climate policy must recognize human exceptionalism, the God-given call for human persons to ‘have dominion’ in the natural world (Genesis 1:28), and the need to protect the poor from harm, including actions that hinder their ascent out of poverty.”²³“An Open Letter to Pope Francis on Climate Change,” Cornwall Alliance For The Stewardship of Creation. April 27, 2015. Archived with WebCite May 27, 2015.

Another excerpt below:

”[…] the [climate] models are wrong. They therefore provide no rational basis to forecast dangerous human-induced global warming, and therefore no rational basis for efforts to reduce warming by restricting the use of fossil fuels or any other means.”

Judith Curry comments on her blog Climate Etc. that “Arguably the most effective ‘pushback’ comes from Cal Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance, who coordinated An Open Letter to Pope Francis on Climate Change.” ²⁴Judith Curry. “Pope Francis, climate change, and morality,” JudithCurry.com, April 29, 2015.

DeSmog has done in-depth research on the other speakers and sponsors from Heartland’s ICCC9, which can be found here.

March, 2013

Harold Doiron is part of a group that calls themselves “The Right Climate Stuff” (TRCS). According to a comment by a user identifying himself as Harold Doiron on the SkepticalScience website, Doirin is the Leader and Chairman (Unconfirmed) of TRCS.²⁹“NASA Retirees Appeal to their Own Lack of Climate Authority,” SkepticalScience, January 24, 2013. Archived September 9, 2015. Refer to comment by Harold H Doiron, PhD at 06:34 AM on 23 March, 2013.

On March 15, 2013, Doiron, alongside Thomas Wysmuller, Walter Cunningham, and Heartland President Joseph Bast spoke at a panel discussion where they explain “why they are urging government agencies to cease their ‘unbridled advocacy’ of Anthropogenic Global Warming & Return Integrity to the Scientific Method.”³⁰Jim Lakely. “Apollo 7 Astronaut Walter Cunningham to Headline ‘Right Climate Stuff’ Event at CPAC 2013,” The Heartland Institute, March 8, 2013.

In January 2013, TRCS issued a summary of its findings as follows (according to a press release issued by The Heartland Institute):

1. The science that predicts the extent of anthropogenic global warming is not settled science.
2. There is no convincing physical evidence of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.
3. Computer models need to be validated before being used in critical decision-making.
4. Because there is no immediate threat of global warming requiring swift corrective action, we have time to study global climate changes and improve our prediction accuracy.
5. The U.S. government is over-reacting to concerns about anthropogenic global warming.
6. A wider range of solution options should be studied for global warming or cooling threats from any credible cause.

The group also presented at the Heartland Institute’s 7th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC-7) in 2012 in Chicago.

January 2013

Harold Doiron was on a Panel at the National Press Club titled “Climate Change – Science or Hype.” Panelists included H. Leighton Steward from Plants Need CO2, Scott Sklar of The Stella Group, Daniel Wiess of the Center for American Progress, Monical Dorhoi of World Bank, Keven Book of CleanView Energy Partners and David Kruetzer of the Heritage Foundation.³¹“’The Hard Question™’ Launches at National Press Club, The Conversation begins with ‘Setting the Course on Energy’” (Press Release), Pr News Wire. January 21, 2013.

At the debate, Harold Doiron described The Right Climate Stuff (TRCS) as a “Volunteer group.” He added, “I think we’re very objective. We don’t belong to any special interest group. […] Our conclusion is humans are not (causing) a significant warming of this planet.”

In an interview with StateImpact, Harold Doiron described why he and 20 of his colleagues became involved in the group. In Doiron’s case, James Hansen was the trigger: “Well, the thing that really pushed me over the edge was the public statements of NASA’s chief climate scientist Dr. James Hansen,” Doiron said.³²Dave Fehling. “Retired NASA Scientists Enter Climate Change Fray,” StateImpact. March 12, 2013.

May 21, 23, 2012

Doiron registered as one of four former NASA scientists and astronauts to speak at the Heartland Institute’s Seventh International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7).³³“Former NASA Scientists, Astronauts to Attend Heartland Institute Climate Conference, May 21 – 23 in Chicago,” PRWeb, April 19, 2012. Video footage from the NASA panel can be viewed below.

DeSmog researched the co-sponsors behind Heartland’s ICCC7 and found that they had collectively received over $67 million from ExxonMobil, the Koch Brothers and the conservative Scaife family foundations.

March 28, 2012

Doiron was one of 49 former NASA scientists to sign an open letter to NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) to cease their “unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change.”³⁴Gus Lubin. “49 Former NASA Scientists Send A Letter Disputing Climate Change,” Business Insider, April 11, 2012.

SkepticalScience published a critique on the claims made in the letter, which was also republished in The Guardian.³⁵“NASA Climate ‘Skeptics’ Respond with Science!

Harold Doiron was a member of the organizing committee for the JSC NAL Symposium on Climate Change where he delivered the opening remarks (PDF).

“Our speakers today could be generally classified as being on the side of the debate that argues that Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) is an unproven theory with very little credibility,” Doiron said.

Walter Cunningham was also a speaker at the event.³⁷“JSC NAL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE” (PDF), NASA Alumni League JSC Chapter.
