Recently the AMS (American Meteorological Society) gave Dr Hansen their highest award. Now what is most funny about this to me is Dr. Hansen does have a PHD, but not in meteorology. He is an Astronomer. But since he is the defacto word for the Global Warming believers, he must be given praise and admiration for stuffing us all with his "beliefs" about Global Warming, and not opening himself up to debate about his ideas. I think it's absurd, but that is my opinion.
Tomorrow this country embarks on a new journey as we elect a new President. One who is very ambitious about "Green" technology and getting off the "sauce" that we use everyday. The problem I have is that as much as he has "seemed" to surround himself with a group of people who may disagree alot on issues, he as seemingly put together a "dream team" of people who will help promote Global Warming as a National disaster waiting to happen unless we stop it.
If people like Dr Hansen (and Al Gore) have the ability to reach the President and force their beliefs on him to the point where he grabs it "hook, line and sinker", than Obama will be no better than Bush at making choices. He MUST allow debate on this, for if he doesn't I believe that we will spend Billions of dollars on things that won't affect what the weather is GOING to do anyway.
Better to spend that money where it matters. Like helping people get jobs, so they can live in this "land of opportunity". For as long as the AGW believers think it will be here....... My guess.... a VERY LONG TIME !!!!!
Oh BTW.... I loved all of that Global Warming this past week.....
