James Hansen has received at least $900,000 in prize money for influencing politicians and governments about global warming or climate change

James Hansen has won at least $900,000 in prize money for influencing governments on global warming issues. He also deserves credit for getting the first George Bush elected and influencing his policies:

George Bush the First was a great help to Hansen's career.

Hansen has received at least $900,000 for influencing governments to make policy based on his failed 'climate' theories, in 1982 saying that by 2050 we “would approach the warmth of the age of the dinosaurs.” James Hansen should have been removed from his taxpayer funded job long ago. The following article is just an update on Hansen and his activities.
"Professor James Hansen's last formal engagement was delivering a keynote paper to the American Geophysical Union Autumn meeting. After that, he spent the holidays not enjoying wintry walks or taking advantage of the sales, but doing something altogether more industrious.

Hansen, director of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies and one of the world's leading climate scientists, has not always been as politically engaged as he is now. He had hoped that politicians would respond to the scientific community by taking action to minimise the risks from climate change. ...Now with just a small window of opportunity left in which to stabilise our climate before it slips out of our control, he has been

  • busying himself with writing to key heads of state around the globe,
  • advocating civil resistance against the coal industry and
  • getting himself arrested while campaigning against mountain-top removal coal mining.

After his famous testimony before a Congressional committee in 1988 that human-induced global warming had begun, Hansen

  • spent the next 15 years turning down most requests for talks and interviews, preferring to focus on research. "...
(This is not accurate. In 1989 Hansen's star rose with George Bush (the first):

"In 1989, "Called before a congressional committee hearing looking at climate change, he sent an

suggesting some of the questions that he would like to answer.

  • “What I told them was that the written evidence submitted in my name did not contain my words. It had been rewritten by the president’s own budget office to support their own agenda.” (This is in dispute, ed.)

This time the resulting storm was so great it saw climate change catapulted into the political arena as never before.

  • George Bush Sr (the father of George W Bush), who was then running for president,
Billions of pounds were allocated for research worldwide."...)

(A big omission in this article about Hansen's story. ed.)

(continuing): "He overcame his reticence in 2004, when he became angered by the Bush administration's political interference in climate science. He was seized by the need to ensure the public had the facts about the risks posed by climate change, but he also

  • became outspoken on policy issues, crossing a line that many scientists steer clear of.

"I realised that if we [scientists] don't help to connect the dots from what the science says"...

(continuing): "to what the implications are for policy, then those dots get connected by people who have special interests," says Hansen, explaining his decision.

  • "I think scientists are able to be objective. ""...
(If he said global warming does not exist, he would not have won nearly $1 million in prize money and a career as a celebrity, for starters. ed.)

(continuing): "Governments just don't face the facts clearly. And it's scary because as scientists we can see what the implications are for our own children and grandchildren."

At a time when many scientists are on the back foot after the pre-Copenhagen attack on the climate science initiated by the release of internal emails by researchers based at University of East Anglia, it's a brave position to take. It's also one that was recognised in 2006 when the American Association for the Advancement of Science honoured him with its Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award for "his courageous and steadfast advocacy in support of scientists' responsibilities to communicate their scientific opinions and findings openly and honestly on matters of public importance".

In 2008 he published a landmark paper along with some ten co-authors, "Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim?" which redefined our understanding of what constitutes dangerous climate change. Its conclusion that we need to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 390 parts per million (ppm) to below 350,

  • set the stage for a global campaign to put the number 350 at the heart of international climate policy.

By the time of the UN climate talks in Copenhagen in December 2009, a majority of more than 100 countries had signed up to the target....

At the UN talks, the rich countries..."

  • (Who exactly are the "rich countries?" America is bankrupt and guaranteed to get worse by huge debt placed on it. Who are the "rich" countries? ed.)

(continuing): "still had high expectations that markets in carbon dioxide" would play a central role in the final deal agreed in Durban, South Africa at the end of 2011. Carbon markets, or what's often called "cap and trade", provide access to "offsets" for rich countries which allow them to buy in carbon reductions from developing countries instead of reducing emissions within their national borders.

  • However a 2008 Stanford University study found these supposed carbon cuts to be largely illusory....

For some time Hansen has been on record slamming this approach. He says that in talks with officials in the UK, the US, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Japan and Netherlands, government representatives all say they will bring down emissions by using carbon markets. "You can prove that this is horseshit because they're building more coal plants. The fossil-fuel industry wants to continue with something close to business as usual and that is what they get with cap and trade and with offsets. But governments are supposed to be operating for the benefit of citizens not for the benefit of powerful industries that have money.""...

  • (The "powerful industry that has money" is the organized crime of one world government, hedge fund/banking/Munich Re types all making billions and on tap for trillions via something that does not exist, global warming. Why did the Saudis lobby heavily for Pachauri to be head of the UN Climate group? Obviously so they could be in on the money from the beginning. ed.)

(continuing): "Hansen's solution is a framework built around the introduction of a carbon tax in both the US and China, and he has recently turned his attention to focusing on the

(The "benefits to China" mantra. Communist China is laughing all the way to the bank, already getting the largest share of taxpayer dollars given to the UN for disbursements to 'save' the climate, and are continuing to do whatever they want,
4/19/2002, ClimateGate emails, Saudi Arabia lobbied intensely for election of UN climate chief Rajendra Pachauri to head the IPCC. It's in the Climategate emails.

  • See text about 1/4 down page under 'The Issue,' report said to be by AP in email from Tom Wigley to Phil Jones. Pachauri was said to be the choice of the Saudis, fossil fuel industry, and George Bush. Everyone was in on the con.
