Dr. James Hansen

As we ponder the President’s war on fossil fuels and the catastrophic effect his recent (executive) efforts at regulation will have on the broader economy and jobs, I seem to remember a certain Mr. James Hansen speaking before Congress, and in particular, one politician looking for an ideological launching pad to bigger and better things. When in 1988, then head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies Jim Hansen predicted the end of the world as we know it by the early 2000’s, the ambitious and somewhat unstable Albert Arnold “Al” Gore, Jr. signed on with gusto, and has been making millions on the ambiguous science ever since.

All these years later however, and much to the chagrin of the “environmentalist whacko’s”, most Americans understand that while abusing our God given planet unnecessarily is reckless and selfish at best, the ideological and broad brush pursuit of green tech as a cure-all for the otherwise fatal disease of so-called “man caused global warming” is largely a bunch of BS.

Nevertheless, it bears pointing out that back in the early 1970’s Mr. Hansen and a bunch of his scientist/activists buddies swore up and down the earth was actually cooling, so rapidly in fact that the end was, you guessed it, just around the corner. Wake up my fellow Americans. The modern environmental movement is merely another political wing of the Liberal Democratic Party, and we have true game changing decisions to make as a nation.
