David Hansen is an alarmist, possibly politically motivated.

The guy is a kook and thinks he speaks for the US government. Loose canons like this should be fired.

David Hansen needs to hold onto his job, so he has to generate media attention with these foolish antics!

There is no proof CO2 raises the temperature of the planet.

In fact the earth cooled during the 1940 though the 70 during “rapid” increase’s in CO2.

To me going from 250 part per million to 400 ppm of CO2 is like going from owning 1 cents to owning 2 cents....you doubled your wealth..but no one would call you rich.

Possibly?

From one flake to another. I’m sure Gordon Brown will be delighted to hear about this.

Of course, there is a little problem with the Coal Miners’ Union, but still. . . .

For the sake of identification, I am a United States citizen, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Adjunct Professor at the Columbia University Earth Institute.

This fruitcake is a U.S. government employee with NASA, presuming to use his exalted position to correspond with the head of a foreign government, concerning local matters that he has absolute no say in. Someone please fire this guy...!

Yeah, I'd like to see Hansen talk face-to-face with these men and see how far he gets before he's hauled away on a stretcher...if he's lucky.

Prospects for today’s children, and especially the world’s poor, hinge upon our success in stabilizing climate.

A feat never before evidenced in all of Earth's history. Humanity is so omnipotent and wonderful that mankind will accomplish something nature has been unable to do - stabalize the climate.

Where the determination of "optimal" conditions at which point, presumably the climate will be maintained, is anybody's guess.

It’s James Hansen, media whore from NASA. Not to be confused with Victor David Hanson, historian and Hillsborough scholar.

If I, as a military officer, wrote the head of another state to express political views, I’d be lucky if all that happened to me was being fired. When you hold a job in the US government, you lose the right to write foreign heads of state to recommend courses of action related to your job - unless you clear it first with your government.

Such letters can be interpreted as official statements for the US government, and this bozo should be fired immediately.

Mammams account for 99.8+ percent of CO2 just by breathing. The world population has done what in the past 1000 years? Grown a hellava lot, that’s what. We actually destroyed all life on earth several centuries ago. Howszat for efficiency? This turdbucket needs to just die and get it over with. Idiot! He sounds stupid enough to take my advice.

James Hansen has the distinction of being one of the few people that the Y2K bug actually affected.

He probably knew it at the time, but it was in the Algoron's favor, so he didn't fix the data until he was exposed.

Hey! ALgore got the nobel. This bozo deserves at least a Knighthood.
With these morons’ track record, I’m preparing for a new ice age.

Interesting that like Dr. James Hansen of NASA, Dr. Heidi Cullen of the Weather Channel is also affiliated with Columbia University. She’s famous for advocating the withdrawal of credentials from anti-climate-action meteorologist.
