James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.
Hansen will use the symbolically charged 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking speech to the US Congress - in which he was among the first to sound the alarm over the reality of global warming - to argue that radical steps need to be taken immediately if the "perfect storm" of irreversible climate change is not to become inevitable.
Speaking before Congress again, he will accuse the chief executive officers of companies such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy of being fully aware of the disinformation about climate change they are spreading.
...
His sharpest words are reserved for the special interests he blames for public confusion about the nature of the global warming threat. "The problem is not political will, it's the alligator shoes - the lobbyists. It's the fact that money talks in Washington, and that democracy is not working the way it's intended to work."

The left, all over the world, have lost their minds.

No, and I never use it!
Was he also key grip and special effects authority on Algore's animated movie?
Mr. Hansen should be put on trial for slander, willful defamation, and attempts to incite public hysteria.
The Bible tells us what to do with false pro(f/ph)ets.
Ahhhh, geeze! Not this schist again!
James Hansen sounds more and more like a new Hitler.
Since it is now "climate change", does he also celebrate the anniverary of his even earlier proclamations about "Global Cooling" and an impending ice age?

Hansen is the one who needs to be put on trial for trying to help Enron pull off the scam of the century.
Some comments excerpted from the FR link below:
“One of Enrons major consultants in that study was NASA scientist James Hansen, who started the whole global warming mess in 1988 with his bombastic congressional testimony.”
You mean this James Hansen?
“Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as “synfuels,” shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration.”
— James Hansen, stated in presentation to Council on Environmental Quality, June 12, 2003

About 20 years ago Enron was owner and operator of an interstate network of natural gas pipelines, and had transformed itself into a billion-dollar-a-day commodity trader, buying and selling contracts and their derivatives to deliver natural gas, electricity, internet bandwidth, whatever. The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to put a cap on how much pollutant the operator of a fossil-fueled plant was allowed to emit. In the early 1990s Enron had helped establish the market for, and became the major trader in, EPAs $20 billion-per-year sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade program, the forerunner of todays proposed carbon credit trade. This commodity exchange of emission allowances caused Enrons stock to rapidly rise.
Then came the inevitable question, what next? How about a carbon dioxide cap-and-trade program? The problem was that CO2 is not a pollutant, and therefore the EPA had no authority to cap its emission.
This is from an article published 3/16/07 and written earlier; the author had no idea that the Court would declare CO2 a pollutant as it now has.
This should be published worldwide in light of this new fact.

Digging the grave of America.
How sad the Founders must be.
***I cant say what I want to do to this moron and others just like him.***
Probably can’t FReep mail it either. Big Brother is watching.
James Hansen and Albore are the ones that need to be put on trial for managing one of the most loathsome frauds in modern history.
Expect them to get shriller. It works for them just as it works for Mahmoud.

Mr. Hansen isn’t the only one to deliberately incite public hysteria. Another one of Algore’s science “advisors” was also a “Reverend”:
The Reverend Sir John Houghton, former head of the UK Meteorological Office, Publisher of Al Gores book on GW and Former Co-Chair of the IPCC, said this:
Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen ...
[Interjection: Couldn’t that legitimately be called, “lying for Jesus”?]
.. human induced global warming is a weapon of mass destruction at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons that kills more people than terrorism.”
While no one can ascribe a single weather event to climate change with any degree of certainty...the parallels between global climate change and global terrorism are becoming increasingly obvious. ~ Reverend John Houghton

We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. ~ Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory) (in interview for Discover magazine, Oct 1989)

Isnt the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isnt it our responsibility to bring that about? ~ Maurice Strong - Secretary General of the Rio Summit in June of 1992
Put global warming hoaxers on trial for scientific fraud.
I may misunderstand your post, but there is no analysis that shows that there are temperature increases and furthermore there are no studies that prove temperature fluctuations are man-made. In fact there is not one single peer-reviewed study that proves that temperature is linked to C02. This is precisely why Mr. Hansen will not allow the temperature data to be released and why he will not publish the methodologies used by NASA when adjusting temperature data for errors. He knows that that real scientists would expose his errors and make him out as the fraud that he is. His career would end, the money would dry up and he would die a laughingstock. Any suggestion that Hansen has proof of man-made warming is pure speculation, a guess, until the data is properly analyzed.
I'm still not sure your guys aren't concerned about the “millions of tons” of CO2 that we put up into the atmosphere each year.
Actually, the amount of C02 that we put out each year is about 0.12% of the total effective greenhouse warming gases that are generated each year. Another 0.16% are other manmade causes (mostly methane). The other 99.72% of effective greenhouse gases are natural.
But millions of tons of CO2 is so much more alarming. (Its a BIG planet folks, in spite of that photo from the moon).
Put Climate Change Scientists in stocks and pass out salmonella tomatoes.
