Former University of Iowa alum (B.A. in physics and mathematics '63, M.S. in astronomy '65, and Ph.D. in Physics in '67) and climate scare-ologist James Hansen has finally gone totally insane.
This is from The Guardian:
James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.
Hansen will use the symbolically charged 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking speech to the US Congress - in which he was among the first to sound the alarm over the reality of global warming - to argue that radical steps need to be taken immediately if the "perfect storm" of irreversible climate change is not to become inevitable.
Speaking before Congress again, he will accuse the chief executive officers of companies such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy of being fully aware of the disinformation about climate change they are spreading.
In an interview with the Guardian he said: "When you are in that kind of position, as the CEO of one the primary players who have been putting out misinformation even via organisations that affect what gets into school textbooks, then I think that's a crime."
What's next?
Putting the heads of coal companies in prison? Natural gas companies? Propane companies?
Putting Ruth Harkin in prison?
Somebody put James Hansen in a straightjacket. The guy is completely nuts.

I saw this yesterday. I say if he wants to sue them for high crimes against humanity and nature, go for it.
As long as he fully understands and is OK with the fact that he should be sued for fraud, extortion, bribery, blackmail, etc. It's a two way street there, chief.
