Patrick J. MICHAELS: China-style dictatorship of climatologists
NASA’s Hansen prefers rule by decree to fight ‘global warming’
Excerpts: From the Washington Times Monday, January 17, 2011
November’s election made it quite clear that the people of the United States do not want to radically change our society in the name of global warming. Pretty much every close House race went to the Republicans, while the Democrats won all the Senate squeakers. The difference? The House on June 26, 2009, passed a bill limiting carbon-dioxide emissions and getting into just about every aspect of our lives. The Senate did nothing of the sort.
The nation’s most prominent publicly funded climatologist is officially angry about this, blaming democracy and citing the Chinese government as the “best hope” to save the world from global warming. He also wants an economic boycott of the U.S. sufficient to bend us to China’s will.
…
According to Mr. Hansen, compared to China, we are “the barbarians” with a “fossil-money- ‘democracy’ that now rules the roost,” making it impossible to legislate effectively on climate change. Unlike us, the Chinese are enlightened, unfettered by pesky elections. Here’s what he blogged on Nov. 24:
“I have the impression that Chinese leadership takes a long view, perhaps because of the long history of their culture, in contrast to the West with its short election cycles. At the same time, China has the capacity to implement policy decisions rapidly. The leaders seem to seek the best technical information and do not brand as a hoax that which is inconvenient.”

Defund the good doctor and make him get a real job.
Either de-fund NASA, or kick them in the butt to refocus them. The “N” seems to stand for “Numbskulls” lately.
That’s cuz Global Warming is the only “emergency” he can concoct to ensure budget.
The Moon and Mars voting block is small....
Hansen: US Democracy Not Competent To Deal With Global Warming... Calls on China to “Save Humanity”
Note to Hansen, they won’t kill you last.
Dr. Hansen...Delta is ready when you are...
All I can say is - DUMBASS!
If this doesn’t tell us everything...
China has already rejected global warming theories.
Time for NASA to let this guy go.
See what happens when that hack scientist tries to pull of glo-bull warming on China.
More like “Calls on China to Fund his boondogle”.
Every totalitarian goes for the same 'solutions'... so creative.
Doesn't this idiot liberal understand that ALL totalitarian countries can move faster? None of the pesky stuff about ‘the people’ slows them down - nope, elitist like Hansen steamroll over the people in more ‘enlightened’ countries.
This is why NASA needs to be totally defunded.
It is now out of the space business, and is funding the only space-faring nation left, Russia.
If some other NASA scientist publicly took the unscientific political stands that this Hansen moron has taken for years, he would have been fired. Yet this clown continues to get world publicity for his erroneous views as a NASA scientist.
NASA is like the Lighthouse Service - its days are over. Close it up.
The 2012 election can't come soon enough.At this point, I have absolutely zero tolerance for RINO politicians mouthing 'compromise' platitudes. The stakes are too high to risk America's future on wishy-washy 'Republicans' that are more interested in receiving pats on the head from Charles Krauthammer and Karl Rove than the future of our nation.
A number of the Greek philosophers tried this. Become the #1 counselor of the benevolent (hopefully) dictator and you can rule from behind the throne.
This was the whole governing strategy fpr Confucius and his followers.
It’s also what Saruman proposed to Gandalf in the movie version of the Lord of the Rings.
MG, that man has a forked tongue. Literally. He must.
