NASA Scientist calls for convictions....

[nativetexan]

Ridiculous...I thought that NASA was a government entity and you cannot use government resources for spreading your opinion, good or bad, right or wrong.

Dr. James Hansen, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, sounded the alarm about global warming in testimony before a Senate subcommittee exactly 20 years ago.
He returned to the topic Monday with a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., given to the Worldwatch Institute.

"Special interests have blocked the transition to our renewable energy future," Hansen writes in an opinion piece posted on the institute's Web site. "Instead of moving heavily into renewable energies, fossil fuel companies choose to spread doubt about global warming, just as tobacco companies discredited the link between smoking and cancer. Methods are sophisticated, including funding to help shape school textbook discussions of global warming."
"CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of the long-term consequences of continued business as usual," Hansen continues. "In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature."

Later in the day, Hansen appeared at an informal briefing on Capitol Hill with Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., head of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
Asked by a reporter about the feasibility of putting corporate CEOs on trial, Hansen dodged the question, stressing instead the need to take stronger measures against global warming.

Sounds to me like he got smacked around a bit...

I don't normally resort to name calling, but since this person is supposedly some grand high muckety muck with NASA, but is so incredibly wrong on the science, I think it's appropriate.

WHAT A TOOL!!!!

if you go back 20 years, this guy told us we only have 20 years before the earth is screwed up. well, it's the SAME GUY now telling us we have 20 years before the earth is screwed up. again.
what we have is a large mouth liberal with no factual basis, making predictions with no credibility. remember, algore was leading the bandwagon only 32 years ago, saying that the world is entering a new ice age. yep, same algore.... no reality, no credibility, only lots of news room coverage.
