Despite Lack of Warming Over 11 Years, Hansen Says It’s the Oil Companies That Are Propagandists

Eleven years ago, the earth stopped warming. Ever hear that on the news? Neither have I. But the Church of Global Warming isn’t about to let a silly thing like facts get in the way of controlling the world:

In his speech to Congress today, [James Hansen] is expected to target big corporations and members of US Congress who had a poor record of dealing with climate change.

“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,” he said in an interview with the Guardian.

He will tell the House select committee on energy independence and global warming that he is certain that amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is already above safe levels and will call for the new US president to place a moratorium on new coal-fired power stations.

During an energy crunch, he wants to stop the creation of energy plants, because they add a trace amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. I wonder if anyone listening to him will ask him about the new carbon filter that removes 90% of CO₂ from smokestack emissions. I hope at least one of our nation’s legislators has been briefed on this development. Apparently, it has yet to reach NASA.

As for that safe level of CO₂, Hansen says that is at 350 ppm, the level reached in 1988. Currently, the concentration of CO₂ sits at 385 ppm, with no increase in temperatures in the last 11 years. In fact, parts of America were reached record low temperatures and were receiving snow as late as June.

Yes, it is the oil companies who should be prosecuted for propaganda.
