Just because he's a scientist doesn't make what he says on TV to be true. There are just as many, if not more, scientists who would disagree with him and have put together presentations to show their findings but you don't see these guys on TV or getting interviews on 60 Minutes to put their point across.
Approved by the "top dogs" of CBS, the unknown faces who say "yea or nea". The fact that it was approved to be aired means, imo, that it's what they want the people watching to think so yes I would say that because it was approved to be aired makes it less true.
So, why do you think the people who are saying that global warming is a scam are not getting onto 60 Minutes for an hour long interview about what they think? It's because they are not getting approved or even asked to go on air to say what they think.
Come on lads, don't drag this topic down by posting crap. It's a very seriuos issue and needs to be sorted because we are getting more controlled by this shit when it's not even caused by us... It's a cycle which the Earth goes through. The first line in that video, the global warming swindle, sums it up for me. "Greenland isn't called Greenland because it's white...", which means at some stage, obviously when it was discovered, Greenland was green, ie it wasn't cold enough there for snow...
That's all a show I can assure you. Nothing gets onto CBS unless it is approved to be aired.
So, why hasn't this chap James Hanson made a long documentary documenting his findings like the one I posted? Well I'll tell you, because he doesn't look at every possible angle and every possible "thing" that affects our planet. He just mainly talks about what humans are doing to the planet/atmosphere. He doesn't go into the effect that sun spots and sun cycles have on the planet and that's just one thing I haven't seen him talk about that is contained in the documentary I posted.
I suggest you take the time to watch the great global warming swindle because it's another point of view that you WILL NOT see on CBS or CNN or whatever news/TV station you watch...
Misinfo you say? Coming from someone who gets his info from someone who is supported by NASA and this roundtable group? Sorry mate but I have looked at enough of what this James Hansen has to offer now and nothing will change my views on him. He is supported by people who have alot to gain from this global warming issue.
I wonder did you even watch the full hour video.
And you say what I posted was "utter tosh", posting a CV of someone who works for NASA and is supported by "The Global Roundtable on Climate Change" is definately not going to change my mind. Anyway, what does a CV prove? There's nothing in there that proves to me that global warming is caused by humans, sorry...
Ok, I've done some searching about this guy James Hansen. There's not many videos of him online but I did watch this one on Youtube just now. It's 11mins long and the first 2mins are intro so in the 9min video you get to see some pictures of blurry graphs and some fluffy animals. He just reads from a prepared "script". I'd need to see more of his work to be able to come to a better conclusion about this chaps motives/aims.
I also looked up "The Global Roundtable on Climate Change" because this is at the start of the video, they obviously sponsor the event. Anything that is decided at a roundtable is dodgy, imo, so I had to look it up. Here is the first paragraph on their website -
Ok, so high-level, critical stakeholders? Stakeholders of what exactly? . Senior exec.'s from the PRIVATE sector? Leaders of governmental and NON-governmental organizations? Why are these people put together to discuss climate change? IMO, it's because these are the lads who are making the money from the global warming issue and why would they want to disprove it? They'd loose their income from that industry. I wouldn't believe a word of anything these lads promote, sorry. I want to see information promoted and gathered by professors and scientists, not executives, stakeholders and leaders of governmental and non-governmental organizations.
The last piece gives it away, big time. "...to discuss and explore areas of potential consensus regarding core scientific, technological, and economic issues critical to shaping sound public policies on climate change." Where would these lads get the knowledge to know the scientific issues on global warming? See they put that there first, then say, the technological and economic issues, now they would know about them issues. Then this last piece is what roundtables are all about, shaping sound public policies, why would they want to shape public policies which are already sound? All of this tells me they have an alternative motive.
So, in conclusion, I think that James Hansen is just a gofer for these executives who have certain policies they want to shape or achieve and James is the perfect person to front it for them and him being on CBS 60mins being watched by the NASA representative is just a show/pantomime to make it look like he has some very important information he can't tell the people. It's all BS, IMHO.
I'm sorry mate but if it gets onto 60 minutes I would be very skeptical of it's motives. It's all only words. He doesn't go into detail of how he got his findings? Only to say "...the Bush administration/NASA is censoring me... we have 10 years to save the planet...blah blah...", so that makes what he's saying is true? I'd need more than just words to change my mind on this, sorry. And tbh, if it's on CBS I wouldn't believe a word of it. That's the biggest propaganda station of them all... Do some more research and watch some presentations or documentaries not TV stations or news channels.
Ok, I haven't read through the whole thread but I'd just like to post this video/documentary here. I just watched it and thought it was excellent and well presented. If you still believe that humans are the cause of global warming after watching this well... you might aswell go pray to your god to save the planet because, imho, that's just as crazy.
And btw, if you do believe in a god, I suggest you watch "ZEITGEIST" linked in my signature, which, in the first 30-40mins, explains the origins of religion.
