NASA’s Hansen on Global Warming: Oil Execs Are Guilty of Crimes Against Humanity

"I'm saying that, in my opinion, CEOs of these large energy companies are guilty of crimes against humanity if they continue to dispute what is understood scientifically and to fund contrarians -- and if they push us past tipping points that end up destroying many species on the planet and having a huge impact on humanity itself," James Hansen, the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, tells NPR's Diane Rehm.

Yeah right, I’m going to listen to Hansen – Not!

Oh, the above is a list of 31,072 “American Deniers” the lying MSM did not tell you about.

Hansen is another left wing nut job with a lot of grant money to lose. Latter in the day he backed off because he knew he stuck his smelly foot in his pie hole.

INFIDEL   June 24th, 2008 - 12:02 am

Drill Here – Drill Now!

Hansen is a FOOL!

Algore is a FOOL!

And all their Feeble-Minded,Fool-Aid Drinking followers need to start thinking for themselves!

Yeah, the debate IS OVER – http://www.petitionproject.org

Sorry, It’s not that simple…

You can’t blame the heads for being made the heads…*

Foolish leaders and bad policies are not the doing of the bad leaders themselves. People decide who will lead them. There is in infinite supply of ‘every kind’ of leader out there. The only leaders that survive are those whom the people allow to survive.

It is so easy to blame others. But usually the blame lies in the mirror…

If the leaders of the people are imbeciles, the people are to blame, not the imbeciles…

Hey!! That would make a good bumper sticker!!

What a moron! Everybody knows that Oil Company CEO’s are the backbone of America, I know more science thatn that idiot and I flunked because the teacher was a typical lib that didn’t know anything

This lying putz should be kicked off the planet for widening this hoax. Follow the $$ folks. Can’t people see a scam a mile away…oh, thats right, most can’t. If they could there wouldn’t be ANY scams.

JB   June 24th, 2008 - 8:40 am

Hansen and his ilk are the TRUE criminals. Global warming is a hoax being perpetrated to force socialism on free countries and implement a one world government. Rockefeller and his trillions are behind it and they should be lined up against the wall and shot for treason.

jbh50   June 24th, 2008 - 8:47 am

Let me get the scorecard right…it always seems to be changing:

Its the oil companies fault for pushing fossel fuels on us eventhough that is what they are in business for.

Its the car companies fault for pushing cars that burn fossel fuels on us eventhough that is what they are in business for.

Its Bush’s fault because, well, eveything is Bush’s fault.

Its the consumer’s fault for buying the cars that need the gas to get to work to produce products that stimulate the economy and create jobs.

But, its never Congress’s or state legislatures’ fault eventhough they just do what they do… tax.

Have I got that right?

Echos of Germany in the 1930s. “Yooo vill not deny zee myth of global warming, or yooo vill go to zee gulag!!” Until Mr. Hansen can prove without a shadow of a doubt that global warming (at least until 1998) is caused by CO2, and not something else, like increased sun activity, then he should keep his mouth shut and be a good little useful bureaucratic idiot. By opening his mouth, he’s bringing a rapid end to the socialist plan to take over the engines of America’s economy. Maybe Mr. Hansen can explain why there is no attacking of greenhouse gases in countries where the government runs the oil companies. Read Mary Anastasia O’Grady’s piece in the WSJ last week on Petrobras (Brazil), Venezuela, and Cuba.

Brian   June 24th, 2008 - 9:47 am

Hansen is right, there should be trials. If Hansen is exagerates or perjures, he should go to jail.

CheTea   June 24th, 2008 - 10:00 am

We must discontinue using oil. In January, 2009, The One will solve our energy problems.

We must move to cities, use mass transit and walk. Communal living is the solution.

I wonder what NASA thinks about this guy shooting his stupid mouth off. Why is it that Global Warming is one of the only scientific debates where if you question the theories of one side you’re labeled a heretic and a criminal.

Global Warming has become a veritable religion for the Left (Whoever claimed the Left isn’t religious?)–a druid or pagan religion. I’m sure Global Warming heretics (myself included) can empathize with Galileo over this academic thuggery. This isn’t about science; it’s about politics and money.

Vinte   June 24th, 2008 - 10:12 am

I think Good Ol’ Al and his “Global Warming” Crew should be on trial for FRAUD!

kmpk   June 24th, 2008 - 10:43 am

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, left wing scientific self engrandizing nuts. The Global Warming Zealots have successfully created a politically correct movement. There are thousands and thousands of reputable scientists that dispute man made global warming. I have never heard any of you freaks explain why the planet went through a similiar warmup 1500 years ago before there were SUV’s. Why? Please explain, Why? You can’t. Take a good hard look in the sky. The Big glowing ball in the sky is the cause of global warming.

Truly you global warming idiots are first class imbeciles. The Global Warming Movement is now the new Socialistic/Communist movement. Another way to control the masses.

truth detector   June 24th, 2008 - 10:55 am

Man made global warming is a socialist hoax. The color red was ineffective now there going green?

Flyoverman   June 24th, 2008 - 11:26 am

Hansen’s testimony is actually good news. They are losing the debate, the data totally contradicts their premise, and they know it. Hansen’s testimony reeks with the stench of panic, because time is running out for them. So the last card in the deck for them to play is to raise the panic level to a fever pitch to breed fear in the political lemmings. Only politicians are stupid enough to buy into this nonsense.

Mac-101   June 24th, 2008 - 11:36 am

JB, you are so right about Global Warming. It appears to be one vehicle that the Globalist, New WOrld Order advocates are using to destroy the American middle class and turn us into a third world nation.

1. Unrestricted (for you SoCal)Illegal immigration

2. No rational energy pogram

3. Dismantling our manufatoring base and sending it to Red China.

4. Bankrupting our Great Nation.

This is being done by the Demos and Rinos. Two sides of the same coin!

I am not saying Global Warming or Climate change is man induced or not. Canada, Chicago and NYC were supposed to be under a mile and a half of ice 100,000 years ago. 100,000,000 years ago dinosaurs alegedly roamed Antartica and Greenland.

So, this simple inbered from Ky asks you to ponder this:

What is more harmfull to the envirnment? An inbred redneck driving a F250 with supper big mud tires and a BIG MOMMA driving two kids to soccer practice in a SUV, OR the world population doubling every 20 years and 30% of the remaining rain forest being cut down every 10 years. The answer is simple! It must be the EVIL Americans, the 3rd worlders multipling like rabbits destroying THEIR envirnment can’t be blamed!

I think there should be a trial. The oil execs and and other industrialist defendents could get the head of the Weather Channel as one of their expert witnesses. Hansen and probably AlGore would have to testify for the Warmist’s side. Then you would have the Dream Debate that would expose the alarmists for what they are. I would think the oil execs would welcome this, no matter what the cost. A trial would certainly be cheaper than the expenses that the environmentalists want to force on them. Let’s have a trial and pit an end to this once and fro all!

Mac-101   June 24th, 2008 - 1:15 pm

Search, what you missing Bro is the oil execs don’t care about drilling since it is keeping the price high so they make more money getting the easy oil in the ME and elsewhere.

[...] And here’s NASA’s James Hansen calling for Oil Executives to be tried for crimes against humanity. [...]

Lee   June 24th, 2008 - 2:21 pm

I hear some of the other planets are experiencing global warming as well, guess they drive hummers and drill for oil their too. Is it me or did that Hansen dude look like he needs to be in a padded room

c. moore   June 24th, 2008 - 2:31 pm

this guy and all of his whacked out friends are the ones who should be charged with crimes for their fraudulent claims and activities. liberals are such sad, silly individuals.

Rover   June 24th, 2008 - 3:16 pm

This man is highly educated and knows what he speaks of. Last week alone this country experienced Global Warming tornadoes, Hurricanes, Lightning, fires, aggressive insects (bees), flooding, aggressive animals, and irrational human behavior which all can be attributed to YES Global Warming!!! We even had temps in San Francisco for a few days that broke 90 degrees. This is not normal folks and you can thank the repukeicans for heating up mother earth!! If not for the progressive and intelectual San Francisco Bay Area this situation would be worse. Follow our lead and cool down mother earth!!

bxg   June 24th, 2008 - 3:54 pm

You’re right, Rover! Why blame the temperatures on the sun when you have those “wascally wee-pubwickans”?

Last night, my 8-cylinder truck’s battery died and it was hot so I think you and Hansen’s vast educational background has come in handy!

Sharkman   June 24th, 2008 - 4:48 pm

Hansen is nothing more than a liberal advocate. His science is tainted, and the media should STOP GOING TO HIM FOR QUOTES AND COMMENTS.

I’m in journalism and I’ve caught on to his nonsense. Why don’t others?

Wx   June 24th, 2008 - 6:02 pm

Hmmm… The earth has gone through many cycles before. Hence the ice age. Was man to blame for that. Hansen is a blow hard, and he should know the atmosphere is fluid and ever changing. He’s nothing but a puppet for the Liberals and thier agenda.

Cab   June 24th, 2008 - 10:29 pm

We know more than Hansen. Period. If he is so smart, why is he working for the government? Same reason anybody works for the government–too stupid to get a real job.

WillofLa   June 25th, 2008 - 1:02 am

My god, another leftist eliteist spews crap about corporate CEO’s wiping out some insignificant species that no one would miss, not even nature. Just think of all the species that have become extinct since man has been on the Earth long before egg head nutjobs like this NASA idiolog came along. No one knows, and will never know, and neither will this guy what species have come and gone since Al Gore was born. In other words everytime one of these anti-American pieces of dung opens their mouth about big business doing harm to the environment, lies the instant words come out of their mouth. I want to know how much money the global warming Socialist front groups paid this guy? It’s obvious he’s not using his own words because he sounds just like all the other environmentalist wackos. He’s not saying anything we haven’t heard before for the past forty years. Does he really think we are all so infantile that because he works for the lunatic cash cow NASA, that is supposed to make us all go AWWWWW! Well, big deal professor, we’re not impressed. Now you may have gotten some respect if you had come out and said you support more big business, and man made global warming is false, or nuke the whales or something. But since you sound like the rest of the global warming nuts and all the animals are dying because America still exists, American business kills baby seals, building more houses and buildings are wiping out species that will never be seen by little kids who’ll pin pictures of them on their bedroom walls, your statement just makes me puke.
