"Human-made climate change:
a scientific, moral and legal issue"
Dr James Hansen
Head of Nasa's Goddard Science Institute
Given the inevitible CO2 impact that would follow were the current focus on coal and oil exploitation to go ahead as a panacea for our nation's financial challenges, Hansen's visit is an opportunity for the local climate change/global warming conversation to have a champion of excellent scientific credentials who has been asked to explain the risks to several White House incumbents.
