Mr. green Obama is still in office and Lisa Jackson is still trying to kill as many jobs as possible with regulatory efforts. Hansen still sits atop GISS while trying, with much success, to kill coal fired electrical plants while fiddling the temperature record. The government grants to prove AGW continue.
———————————————————————–
As much as I agree that this is happening and that things look bleak with Mr. Green Obama in office, what are we supposed to do with the two strongest Republican Candidates in the running who are at best going to be just another shade of green?
We all know Newt is another believer in AGW with his infamous commercial with Pelosi and the love-seat. And Romney has remained rather mute on the subject recently but has always been a strong supporter of wind power in the past and his advisors who he will surround himself with are strong supporters of such things as wind power and gas taxes.
I do believe they would be better then Obama, but the truth is that this election will not change anything as far as the AGW machine goes in our country.
We are stuck in other words and whether we want to admit it or not, since the concern on this subject is so low, it works against us on the sceptic side as well. No one cares, and as such the business as usual will continue with the EPA doing its thing like usual.
Will a republican in charge reign that monster in? I really don’t know to be honest. Somehow I really doubt it when the candidates are really nothing more then republican’s in name only.

Hansen: Skeptics guilty of ‘crimes against humanity and nature’

James Hansen
Hansen also says that the climate system is “rapidly deteriorating.”
The Guardian reports,
James Hansen, the director of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies who first warned the world about the dangers of climate change in the 1980s, has joined other scientists in submitting statements to be considered by a judge at the Information Rights Tribunal on Friday. They will argue that Lawson’s foundation routinely misrepresents and casts doubt on the work of climate scientists. Their statements will form part of the supporting evidence being presented by an investigative journalist who is appealing against an earlier rejection of his FOI request to the Charity Commission for it to make public a bank statement it holds revealing the name of the educational charity’s seed donor, who gave £50,000 when it launched in 2009…
James Hansen told the Guardian: “Our children and grandchildren will judge those who have misled the public, allowing fossil fuel emissions to continue almost unfettered, as guilty of crimes against humanity and nature. But the eventual conviction of these people in the court of public opinion will do little to ease the burdens that will have been created for today’s young people and future generations.“
“The science is clear. Unless we restore the planet’s energy balance and stabilise climate, by rapidly reducing fossil fuel emissions, we will leave today’s young people a rapidly deteriorating climate system with consequences that will out of their control. If successful, the FOI request may, by exposing one link in a devious manipulation of public opinion, start a process that allows the public to be aware of what is happening, what is at stake, and where the public interest lies.”
