#1 It's the fact that money talks in Washington, and that democracy is not working the way it's intended to work.

Funny how that applies to your green movement and its messiah, Al Gore.

...put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature...

You mean like Canada's "human rights" tribunal? Where it is a show trial? 'cuz if your "facts" went against the other scientists facts, you would lose in a real court very quickly since most of your "facts" are just made up.

Nice to see Stalinism and fascism have come back into vogue.

#2 And we will fly in witnesses from all over the world in private jets, based upon the urgency of the case......heh.

#3 Hmmm...how about a tribunal like Galileo got, Pope Hansen?

Isn't this the dude who withheld data, derived as part of his government duties and therefore in direct contrivance of the Freedom of Information Act, that when backchecked showed a remarkable error in computation?

#5 St. James Hansen of the Fraudulent Hockeystick?

#6 Hansen doesn't have any special immunity as a NASA scientist, why don't the oil companies sue his ass for a laundry list of bullshit civil torts?

#7 NASA hasn't exactly covered itself with glory over the last 20 years either.

#8 Sorry: Mann is responsible for the Hockey Stick fiasco. Just wanted to correct the comment a couple above.

#9 Yep, he is the busted party.

#10 Remember when global warming was about scientific inquiry? Now its about dollars and jobs. Sort of like "The Children" and "Diversity" and "Victimization".

#11 Its a religion - every bit as fanatic about control and stamping out the unbelievers (by force if neccesary) as is Islam.

#12 I wouldn't worry. Under President Obama they'll also want Bush-Cheney show trials, so I doubt they'll even have time for this.

#13 Hanson needs to be out looking for a real job. He's already shown he has no professional integrity, and his approach to the scientific method is to decide what he wants to "discover", and manipulate the data until it agrees with his beliefs. There's no room for a man like that working for the government. Of course, if they got rid of all the "jim hansons" in the government, we'd have a half-trillion dollar surplus.

#14 NASA is a socialist organization, should we be surprised when the leadership acts like a typical socialist?

#15 NASA didnt used to be this way.

#16 This may be a pre-emptive strike, as Hansen is probably guilty of fraud (and if not fraud then widespread negligence)in compiling the GISS temperature data.

Climate Audit is all over Hansen's incredibly shoddy work.

#17 Fascist NASA Goddard Head Demands Oil Company Show Trials, Political Control

AHEM: Hansen is not the head of Goddard Space Flight Center (in Maryland). He's the head of the NASA-Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. As bad as that is, it's not as bad him being the head of GSFC.

As I said yesterday, most of the people flogging AGW are actors, musicians, politicians, media pundits, and similar riff-raff. While there are undeniably scientists who study and believe in it, we don't hear from them as often.

Hansen is an exception, and I wasn't sure what to make of him, since he does hold a very respectable position.

Now I know: he's a clown, and I can disregard all further pronouncements from him.
