The declaration that American ‘democracy’ (as [Hansen] sarcastically refers to it as) cannot cope with climate change, and that the world must look to the Chinese communist dictatorship to “lead” is bound to be controversial.

If by "controversial" he means "stupid," I agree.

I worked this piece up in 2009.

O, their offence is rank it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal traitors’ curse upon’t,
A nation’s murder. Pray can they not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will:
Their stronger guilt defeats their strong intent;
And, like a Congress to double business bound, They stand in pause where they shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with citizens’ blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy
But to confront the visage of offence?...
