“Mr. Hansen should be put on trial for slander, willful defamation, and attempts to incite public hysteria.” ~ rabscuttle385
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 Enron’s 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, EPA’s $20 billion-per-year sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade program, the forerunner of today’s proposed carbon credit trade. This commodity exchange of emission allowances caused Enron’s 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.

“Mr. Hansen should be put on trial for slander, willful defamation, and attempts to incite public hysteria.” ~ rabscuttle385 — #65
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 Gore’s 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)

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” ~ Maurice Strong - Secretary General of the Rio Summit in June of 1992
