NASA Globaloney Loon Find Elections to be Terribly Inconvenient

Wouldn't we all be better off in a dictatorship where crazy climate scientists can change our lives and the people can't do anything about it?

November's election made it quite clear that the people of the United States do not want to radically change our society in the name of global warming. Pretty much every close House race went to the Republicans, while the Democrats won all the Senate squeakers. The difference? The House on June 26, 2009, passed a bill limiting carbon-dioxide emissions and getting into just about every aspect of our lives. The Senate did nothing of the sort.

The nation's most prominent publicly funded climatologist is officially angry about this, blaming democracy and citing the Chinese government as the "best hope" to save the world from global warming. He also wants an economic boycott of the U.S. sufficient to bend us to China's will.

NASA laboratory head James Hansen's anti-democracy rants were published while he was on a November junket in China, but they didn't get much attention until recently. On Jan. 12, the hyperprolific blogger Marc Morano put them on his Climate Depot site, and within hours, the post went viral. In a former life, Mr. Morano was chief global-warming researcher for Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican.

According to Mr. Hansen, compared to China, we are "the barbarians" with a "fossil-money- 'democracy' that now rules the roost," making it impossible to legislate effectively on climate change. Unlike us, the Chinese are enlightened, unfettered by pesky elections. Here's what he blogged on Nov. 24:

"I have the impression that Chinese leadership takes a long view, perhaps because of the long history of their culture, in contrast to the West with its short election cycles. At the same time, China has the capacity to implement policy decisions rapidly. The leaders seem to seek the best technical information and do not brand as a hoax that which is inconvenient."

This is so incomparably ignorant. China is building coal-fired power plants as fast as they can, and burning coal is considered by the C02-fascists to be one of the most dangerous things we can do when it comes to putting carbon into the atmosphere. That's an inconvenient fact that Hansen apparently doesn't want to acknowledge.

And it doesn't end there.  Hansen wants nations like China to engage in a boycott of the American economy to force us to comply with his apocalyptic vision of the world.

Hansen has become an anti-American zealot and needs to be removed from the government's payroll...and soon. Let China pay his salary.
