Deniers (you know who you are), if you don't like the planet you're on, if you don't give a damn about it, why don't you get the hell outta here? Go live on Mars!
For every Hansen there is a Trump. Had there not been a shyster like Hansen, there would not be the current blood lust to destroy the EPA and to reorient NASA completely away from climate science. Neither extreme is helpful.
No, Hansen was nowhere near a shyster; he's just informing us of what is happening.
We needed to be far more extreme than we have been. Republicans have spent 40 years making unnecessary delays.
Yes, overpopulation is a problem. Al Gore mentioned it in his 2006 film. However, most rapid population rise today is taking place in Africa. Elsewhere it has slowed down, although maybe not enough.
The Trumps of the world are entirely responsible for their OWN lust to destroy the EPA and environmental protections. Mainly, they hate it because it infringes on their neo-liberal ideology of "less government" etc.
Again, Mr. X, if you have current scientific data from climate scientists for your claims about motors and electricity causing global heat, let's see it. Otherwise; needless speculation is all that it is.
The idea and the facts are simple. For 40 years now, global warming has been accelerating. At some time in the near future, it will make life unsustainable without huge catastrophe. The cause: human use of fossil fuels. The remedy: change our energy industry. Changes in industry that are market driven happen all the time. The neo-liberal fanatics and greedy bosses who own and run this country today resist the idea of government helping to drive a change in industry. But this has happened many times before too. The right-wing fanatics are entirely responsible for their resistance to the needed changes. They are the creepy Dixieland slaveholders of today, and they may end up splitting the country. Bozos!
