| James E. Hansen Destroys Last Credibility of NASA (GISS) |
| 2009-01-01 |
| Climate realists around the world have contended for years that the real goal of alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his followers is to use the fear of man-made global warming to redistribute wealth. On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-elect to enact a tax on carbon emissions that would take money from higher-income Americans and distribute the proceeds to the less fortunate. The eco-socialism cat was let out of the bag on page five of a PDF Hansen published at Columbia University's website on December 29... (letter follows) |

| #8 Again, unfortunately for all concerned the GREAT SOLAR EXPLOSIONS = "GREAT SOLAR STORMS" known as the "SIRIUS EVENT" DID OCCUR - the Perts remain scientifically uncertain as to what the phenom meant as per PRESNET + LONG-TERM LIFE ON EARTH. * GLOBAL WARMING-COLING > this will be the first time that MODERN OR POST-MODERN SCIENCE, HUMAN ANALYTICAL METHODISMS, ETC, will be around to observe BOTH A MAJOR NATURALLLY-OCCURRING EPOCH(S) THAT IS ALSO A POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC NATURAL GLOBAL EPOCH(S)??? PRAGMATISM > NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD ONE'S SCIEN MODEL(S), THEORIES, + CALCULATIONS, ETC. ARE, NOTHING WILL BEAT WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURS. E.g. TOPIX/REDDIT > SCIENCE WANTS TO DEV AND POWER-UP A TINY "WORKING SUN" [as modeled on our own].; + CNN last Nite > LARRY KING Guests > on "UFO's" as de facto SPACE ALIENS VISITING EARTH, versus MASSIVE GOVT-LED HI-TECH COVERUP + CONSPIRACY [Le Questionne = WHY A COVER-UP?]. Why a COVER-UP(S), why build MILE-LONG OR LARGER SPACE CRAFTS, why "Globalism" versus "Status Quo", why .............................@! Oliver Stones "JFK" > DONALD SUTHERLAND as "THE COLONEL" = "Thats the real Questionion, is't it, Mr. Garrison, WHY"??? |

| #7 Global Warming is only one part of it - we now have the US-WORLD RECESSION/DEPRESSION, aka MSM-Net's "GREAT DEPRESSION II", which can last for many more DECADES than the original 1929-1939/WW2 Dreat Depresion I ever would've have. ITS NOT SOCIALISM-GOVTISM OR OWG-NWO, ETC. ITS "US-GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION/DEPRESSION" + "ECON CHAOS", ITS MULTI-STATE, MULTI0REGION, MULTI/TRANS-CONTINENTAL "NEW ECONOMIC COMMUNALISM/COMMUNITARIANISM" + "GROWTH BLOCS"??? In more important news, MCDONALD'S GUAM brings back the SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH + MEAL! |

| #6 The time is going to come yet when all these idiots are gathered into one room, and the air taken out of it. People are going to get angry and stay angry, and it's not long off. Hanson needs to both be fired and refund his cumulative paycheck for the last ten years. He's a political "scientist" who is more than willing to make up data when the real stuff doesn't fit his beliefs. |

| #4 The carbon tax has social benefits. It is progressive. It is useful to those most in need in hard times, providing them an opportunity for larger dividend than tax. It will encourage illegal immigrants to become legal, thus to obtain the dividend, and it will discourage illegal immigration because everybody pays the tax, but only legal citizens collect the dividend. Yes, we all know that the only thing that keeps illegal immigrants from signing up to become legal is the absence of free money directed at them. And how do you collect the tax on money that is often paid in cash off the books? And what about those who consume massive amounts of carbon fuels by flying or using mass transit? Should we put GPS chips in them tax them for the distances they travel from home? They are already talking about putting GPS chips in cars so that they can tax us on road use. I believe Oregon and Idaho have seriously considered the possiblity of doing that. It won't be long before the start rationing our food intake too. No one should get more than their share. Obesity is a problem and health care is expensive. It's all for the good of the children. |

| #2 It's Progressive, really! And the only Ukranians Stalin killed were Kulacks, he'd never do anything mean to real honest poor deserving Peasants, that would be against communism! |

| #1 Hansen proposes a tax on carbon with proceeds distributed per capita (not on the basis of wealth). Although Hansen says this will be a progressive tax, I'm pretty sure he is factually wrong on this. On gasoline, use increases with income but at a slower rate than income. The same is true with electricity. |
