Unlike the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia University Hansen already has a few prior convictions.

What convictions are they? I went looking. I couldn't find any.

When you learn of a lightly publicized agreement with Canada for a pipeline to carry oil squeezed from tar sands to the United States, when the president advocates an ineffectual cap-and-trade approach for controlling carbon emissions, when our government funnels billions of dollars to support "clean coal" while treating next-generation nuclear power almost as a pariah, you can recognize right away that our government is not taking a strategic approach to solve the climate problem.

Hansen's some kind of moonbat, but he appears to advocate nuclear energy.

I heard Hansen today on a radio program...maybe Rush played a clip? What he sounded like to me was a bureaucrat who really wants to keep his job and rise in the system.

I thought he was trying to avoid saying anything that could be held against him - by either side. He’s probably a moonbat, but what he is mostly is a functionary doing what he thinks will keep him in his job. He may have personal opinions, but he’s willing to forget them if they prove inconvenient.

Thanks for the ping. Interesting post & thread.
