This loon had too long of a tenure in NASA. He has to be the worst of the worst. (Funny how he tries to understand Venus atmosphere while not taking that planets extreme volcanism into account, eh? Just like measuring 400 ppm of atmospheric CO2 on top of Mauna Loa.)

Wrong in ‘88. Wrong now. At least we see where our tax dollars went paying this useless POS.

Thing is, I don’t think they are fossil fuels any more than I think I use my phone to tape stuff. It’s just a phrase. Evidence is increasing that the earth itself generates that stuff.

any re-industrialization strategy that increases fossil fuels use can only be short-term, irrational and economically wasteful. That's OK, Mr. Hansen. Give me a quark reactor instead, or at least a working fusion reactor.
Oh, you don't have one? Then come back with your helpful advices when you do. Humans on this planet need all the energy they can lay their hands on just to survive.

Reminds me of when taxonomists classified the giant panda as a raccoon rather than a bear, merely because the red panda is actually related to the raccoons. Scientists need to stick to the scientific method.

Might be a reason why he’s an EX Nasa scientist.

Nothing about nuclear energy. They don’t want to talk about that.

Fine... it’s becoming more and more apparent that oil and NATURAL gas are not “fossil fuels”...

accused energy firms of preferring government bribes over investments in clean technology. Welcome to the real world Hansen, you didn't actually think any of this horsesh** you were peddling was actually taken seriously do you?

So we should leave the toxins in the ground, unused, where they may poison the water table and come on the shores of our beaches?
Because of some fantasy that man is changing the Earth’s temperature?
The fuels may not even be fossil based.

“Ex NASA Scientist Makes No Sense” would be a better headline...

Come on, you know we can power our modern economy with unicorn farts and Skittles, uh, windmills and solar panels - after all, Dr. Hansen says so. He's one of them really smart science guys that spend their days doing really really smart things, so he knows what he's talking about, no?
What a maroon.

Yeah. When I argue with liberals about AGW (human caused global warming) they inevitably accuse me of hating science. My response is always the same. I LOVE science. I HATE JUNK science.

fuels use can only be short-term... If, by "short term", this "scientist" means the next 1000 years, then yes, by all means, use fossil fuels for the short term!
[drilling for oil needs 1,000,000 years from now is RIGHT out!].
