This charlatan should be in a dark prison cell by now.
Ooops, I forgot..
Women, children and minorities hardest hitTM
Fire parasitical tax sucking pseudo scientists from the government payroll or watch your children suffer unimaginable tax bills.
climate "scientist" James Hansen
Jimmie can KMA! Fookin idjit.
No.
Chasing the laughable delusion of CO2 being a dangerous pollutant IS the hazard to our kids future.
They mean to bankrupt us with carbon taxes.
CO2 is essential to life.
It is plant food.
Just last week I heard it was too late. Now we must act now “at a price tag of hundreds of trillions of dollars...”
“at a price tag of hundreds of trillions of dollars”
And that my friends, is what it’s all about.
“Plants” suck out carbon dioxide.
Hansen is a gov’t funded hack.
Since when do our kids’ futures mean anything to DC denizens. Nevertheless, it’s a nitwit argument.
These imbeciles can’t even pass a working healthcare system, but we should give them an energy tax in order to fix the climate of the planet?!? It’s simply amazing that it’s 2016 and such lunacy still passes for serious political debate.
A political statement from a scientist.
How odd...
We have an initiative here in Washington to enact a carbon tax. The signs say “Tax pollution, not people”.
I didn’t know that pollution had an income stream or an address where they could send/receive tax notices and payments.
Tax fossil fuels and our children will be sweltering or shivering in darkened homes, standing in long lines for their ration of $6 per gallon gasoline, have their landscapes blotted out with forrests of bird chopping windmills and living in a Great Depression like economy.
I don’t dispute that the environment is constantly changing.
I do not think humans impact it as much as these guys think. And I certainly do not believe that taxing folks to “address” these issues is a very effective way to manage ANY problem.
If things are really going to go belly up, there will be someone somewhere who can make a go of a business. They become rich and the world benefits.
The free market would be more efficient and better at doing this than a controlled market.
When will people realize this?
More climate shakedown from so-called “scientists”.
Oh, this yutz again. I wish he’d go carbon-neutral and never speak again.
We are going to be dependent on carbon-based fuels burned with atmospheric oxygen as our primary source of energy production, for electricity, for motor vehicles, and for home heating purposes well into the 22nd or 23rd Centuries. Carbon dioxide CANNOT possibly be as important to any “climate change” as these pseudo-scientists seem willing to assign to the substance.
There is a very important “greenhouse gas” that has from 30 to a hundred times the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and that is water vapor. Water vapor is the great regulator of climate all over the world, and it has several attributes that carbon dioxide cannot hope to duplicate under normal atmospheric conditions.
Carbon dioxide may only exist under terrestrial conditions as a gas. Water vapor is not only a gas, when it is sufficiently cooled, it is also a liquid with its own particular characteristics, and when cooled even further, it becomes a solid mineral we know as ice.
When moving from one state to another, the compound dihydrogen oxide either absorbs an ENORMOUS amount of heat, or gives it up. Some 75% of the surface of this planet is covered with water of varying depth, from 0.5% to 1.0 % of all the earth’s surface is covered with an ice cap averaging one mile in depth, and from 0.25% to 4.0% of the composition of the atmosphere is water vapor. Water in all its states of matter is the most important factor in climate conditions in ALL instances. Carbon dioxide is not in second or even tenth place.
Now if you can control water vapor and its changes from one state to another, that would make a significant difference.
But you might as well try to alter the progression of heavenly bodies in their orbits. Nothing mere humans can do will ever make such a significant difference.
Will the idiot they put in charge of the climate scam today please try to make up their minds.
Fossil fuels are already taxed more heavily than anything besides liquor and cigarettes. Which is a coincidence since anytime I hear the phrase “climate scientist” I crave a drink and a smoke. When it’s Hansen it’s best to keep weapons out of reach as well. That MF has been living off the public dime, my dime, for decades while helping perpetuate the greatest fraud in history.
“Fossil” fuels are already taxed out the ying yang.
Did I miss something?
