NASA’s #1 – On Global Warming
POLITICO James Hansen Cannot Believe It
Of course you couldn’t simply have a story about NASA’s #1 saying we don’t know what the hell we’re doing in regards to earths climate without having another NASA guy calling him crazy.

Hansen believes
"It's unbelievable," said Hansen. "I thought he had been misquoted. It's so unbelievable."
