James Hansen, a climate modeller with Nasa, told the Guardian today that corporate lobbying has undermined democratic attempts to curb carbon pollution. “The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working,” he said.

Duh, Mr Hansen that is the democratic process. .Not eveyone agrees with you. Get it yet???

Democracy “not working”? Hmmm, does this mean we can then resort to just brute tyranny to impose what we want?

These people have gone from just being wrong to being evil.

Of course the whole global warming thing is designed to create an excuse to ditch democracy and impose socialism.

A global tyranny with climate scientists in charge is Hansen’s goal.

"The democratic process doesn't quite seem to be working," he said.

When NASA people are using this kind of language, you know there's something wrong for sure.

The first thing the moron has to learn: WE ARE NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRACY! Go live in some “democratic” country like Iran or China! (but watch your neck)

Mr. Hansen, maybe if you would let science work the way it is supposed to (free exchange of data (not faked), and ideas) without demonizing those who disagree, that would be a start. You and others are practicing totalitarian science.

When you get your act together, then we can look at how science is supposed to work in a democratic society.

What a moron, all the large corps have adopted the global warming scam. GE, Exxon/mobil etc all support his goals, yet they still can’t win.

Reminds me of “The Road to Serfdom,” where Hayek talks about how the “experts” in society are often those most supportive of totalitarian regimes (run by them) - the democratic process is just too inefficient.

This guy has gone way beyond the bounds of a humble civil servant.

Yes, like most, he's become a Snivel Serpent.
