\u201cHow much have you taken from Peabody Coal?\u201d<\/p>\n

That was the question Greenpeace researcher Jesse Coleman asked\u00a0prominent climate change skeptic<\/a>\u00a0and Princeton physicist William Happer in a Senate hearing room Tuesday afternoon, just as Happer was preparing to testify before Sen. Ted Cruz\u2019s Commerce subcommittee.<\/p>\n

Hours earlier, Happer had been exposed as one of the two victims of a sting in which Greenpeace researchers posed as consultants for the fossil fuel industry. They got Happer and a Pennsylvania State University professor to agree to accept funding to produce pro-industry research while concealing the source of that funding.<\/p>\n

Happer was none too pleased with Coleman\u2019s question.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou son of a bitch, I haven\u2019t taken a dime!\u201d replied Happer. \u201cI haven\u2019t taken a dime, you son of a bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
