The Guardian ^ | June 23, 2007 | Ed Pilkington

Posted on 06/23/2008 12:24:05 AM PDT by spandau-guard

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.

As Hansen’s scientific credibility diminishes, the nuttiness of his pronouncements increases.

Nationalize big oil now! The Democrats love patronage jobs. FREDDIEMAC and FANNIE MAE faced near bankruptcy while Democrat political cronies looted the place.

Renowned Scientist Defects From Belief in Global Warming – Caps Year of Vindication for Skeptics

Media Darling James Hansen Hypes Alarmism

As all of this new data debunking climate alarmism mounts, the mainstream media chooses to ignore it and instead focus on the dire predictions of the number-one global warming media darling, NASA’s James Hansen. The increasingly alarmist Hansen is featured frequently in the media to bolster sky-is-falling climate scare reports. His recent claim that the Earth is nearing its hottest point in one million years has been challenged by many scientists. See: http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/articles/V9/N39/EDITB.jsp Hansen’s increasingly frightening climate predictions follow his 2003 concession that the use of “extreme scenarios” was an appropriate tactic to drive the public’s attention to the urgency of global warming. See: http://naturalscience.com/ns/articles/01-16/ns_jeh6.html Hansen also received a $250,000 grant form Teresa Heinz’s Foundation and then subsequently endorsed her husband John Kerry for President and worked closely with Al Gore to promote his movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” See: http://www.heinzawards.net/speechDetail.asp?speechID=6 & http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/dai_complete.pdf

In other words, he is a whore. While his price is a little high, it was for John Kerry.

One of these days, the oil companies are just going to throw up their hands and announce that they are getting out of the oil business once and for all, and that the general public can live like cave people. Which is what these liberal loonies want I suppose.

[...leading climate change scientist]

Calling this guy a scientist is like calling obama an experienced leader.

Hanson received a $250,000 grant from a foundation headed by Teresa Heinz Kerry. Hanson endorsed Kerry for president in 2004.

OK, YES- Let’s do this, and LEGALLY rid the world of these morons by calling them to show scientific proof that ‘global woarming’ exists

This buffon WORKS FOR NASA????

Most here can probably tell horror stories about the paper trail necessary to fire someone in any large or medium-sized organization. In the government, at almost any level, it is damn near impossible to rid your department of anyone, even a total incompetent. The only people that leave government jobs are voted out or those who use the government job to train themselves for a more lucrative private sector position. If you can get on the government teat and can live on the money, you are set for life.

Don’t give Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi any ideas...

Actually, this would be a fabulous idea! Lets bring this nonsense of AGM into the spotlight of a public courtroom and crush it once and for all! The "warmers" cannot begin to win a public debate. All they can do is write papers and then run and hide under their beds. Force them to support their claims with scientific facts and even the most casual observer will realize that AGM is a farce......

Who does James Hansen think he is? The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran? Same kind of rhetoric.

Yes, we should have a trial and if it is shown that GW is a bunch of hokum, then Hansen and Gore should be the ones that go to jail.

When did NASA’s charter change to include climate change?

One thing to consider about government jobs, is the positions are filled with zealots... so that is what you get in these organizations. EPA zealots, FDA zealots, NASA/NOAA climate change zealots.
