NASA Warming Scientist James Hansen Hopes Congressional Climate Bill Fails!
Washington, DC – NASA scientist James Hansen, perhaps the most vocal voice in the U.S. warning of a man-made global warming crisis, has declared he hopes Congressional efforts to pass a cap-and-trade climate bill fail. “I hope cap and trade doesn’t pass, because we need a much more effective approach,” Hansen said during a keynote lecture at Columbia University’s climate conference on May 2, 2009.
Hansen urged Congress to “abandon cap-and-trade initiatives altogether and implement a simple carbon tax instead” according to a May 4, 2009 article titled “Hansen hopes lawmakers’ cap-and-trade approach to climate will fail” in the trade publication E&E News. (Subscription required.)
Hansen also ridiculed international efforts to control emissions. The Kyoto Protocol “didn’t do anything to global emissions. We need real action, not just another Kyoto Protocol,” Hansen said according to the article. Hansen has previously called global warming cap-and-trade ‘ineffectual.” (See: NASA’s James Hansen declares cap-and-trade “ineffectual.”)
Hansen also lamented that the public continues to be apathetic man-made global warming fears and cited recent public opinion polls showing American’s are not concerned about the issue. [Editor’s Note: A March 25, 2009 Gallup survey found global warming ranked dead last in the U.S. among ENVIRONMENTAL issues. Concern for “global warming” ranked at the bottom (8 out of 8 concerns) of such other environmental issues as water pollution, endangered species, toxic waste and rainforests. “Global warming is clearly the environmental issue of least concern to them. In fact, global warming is the only issue for which more Americans say they have little to no concern than say they have a great deal of concern,” Gallup wrote on March 25. An April 17, 2009 Rasmussen Poll found Only 34% Now Blame Humans for Global Warming – ‘Lowest finding yet’ — ‘reversal from a year ago!’ A January 22, 2009 Pew survey found global warming ranked dead last as priority for 2009 – 20 out of 20. In addition, a January 20, 2009 Rasmussen Reports survey found a majority of U.S. Voters – “51% — now believe that humans are not the predominant cause of climate change.” (Also see: Gore laments global warming efforts: ‘I’ve failed badly’ – Washington Post – November 11, 2008 ) ]
