Hansen...has likened coal-fired power plants to "factories of death" and claims he was muzzled by the Bush administration when he warned of drastic climate changes. Behold the moron in full hue and cry:
"What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet. The only practical way to solve the problem is to phase out the biggest source of carbon — and that's coal."
Of course, the USA is the Saudi Arabia of coal and new methane [coal-bed methane] and other natural gas extraction techniques have eliminated pollution from the hysterical cartoon the clueless mad scientist who should have been fired [there is no evidence of muzzling for this wacko to make such charges] makes to a gullible crowd of Leftist Luddites who would love us to revert to some classless society not based on capitalism. Henry Waxman, the Pinocchio nose in charge of energy in the House, thanks to a palace coup supported by the equally stupid Piglosi, is sure to support Hansen in his fraudulent quest to ruin the American economy.
"Oh my goodness," one of Hansen's former supervisors, Dr. John Theon, told FOXNews.com when informed of the video. "I'm not surprised ... The fact that Jim Hansen has gone off the deep end here is sad because he's a good fellow."
Theon, a former senior NASA atmospheric scientist, rebuked Hansen last month in a letter to the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee, saying Hansen had violated NASA's official position on climate forecasting without sufficient evidence and embarrassed the agency by airing his claims before Congress in 1988.
"Why he has not been fired I do not understand," Theon said. "As a civil servant, you can't participate in calling for a public demonstration. You may be able to participate as a private citizen, but when you go on the Internet and call for people to break the law, that's a problem."
Tut tut and oh my goodness indeed.... Tsk, tsk, as the Hatch Act lawyers claim that Hansen can't be fired. Interesting that the quaint value system of Dr. Theon judges Hansen to be a "good fellow" even though he is disruptive and possibly criminally insane. In any event, Hansen fits Richard Feynman's definition of Cargo Cult Science concerning "theories that don't work and science that isn't science." Of course, when Hansen's theories don't work, he just switches the facts, including eliminating the Middle Age Warming period in order to create a "hockey stick graph" which overlooks four hundred years of climate much warmer in Europe than the continent is currently experiencing. Small matter for frauds like Hansen and impostors like Al Gore:
...Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., urged Hansen to rethink his plans.
"If he wants to have a demonstration concerning global warming, coming to the Capitol is not a right choice," Rohrabacher told FOXNews.com. "The bottom line is if Hansen wants to protest global warming, he should go to the National Cathedral and take it up with God rather than going to Capitol Hill."
Rohrabacher, a member of the House's Committee on Science and Technology, called on Hansen to "step out" of his role.
"He obviously doesn't feel comfortable with the restraints that come with being a scientist rather than a political activist," Rohrabacher said. "Most of us have always thought he has been hiding behind a scientific facade, and really, he was a political activist all along."
Chris Horner, author of "Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed," also denounced Hansen's latest call to arms against climate change.
"He's providing ample cause to question his employment on the taxpayer dime," Horner told FOXNews.com. "He's clearly abused his platform provided to him by the taxpayer, principally by the way he's been exposed of manipulating and revising data with the strange coincidence of him always found on the side of exaggerating the warming."
Horner claimed that Hansen doctored temperature data on two occasions in 2001 and once in 2007 in attempts to show an impending climate catastrophe.
"He's creating an upward slope that really wasn't there," Horner said. "At some point you have to say these aren't mistakes."
Perhaps leading a march advocating Global Warming in the midst of a snowstorm might provide a clue even clueless Luddites might understand.
But they are pretty think and on second thought, the deep enders and round the benders have no cognitive or rational powers worthy of the name. Waxboy and Barry Hussein-O included.
