ROFL. That is really funny coming from the man who sold his soul to big
tobacco and was involved in funding fake research for R.J.Reynolds to
"prove" that smoking tobacco did not cause cancer. Their objective was
to confuse the public and it worked so well they applied the same
techniques to AGW. His earlier contributions to ballistics and solid
state physics were sound but after that he gradually went off the rails.

The Telegraph obituary is quite kind to him really:

Towards the end of his life he would happily prostitute his scientific
reputation for money. It is interesting to see what the tobacco company
Philip Morris thought of his scientific "credentials" seven years before
the SEPPtic piece you cite above was written.
