The Absurd James Hansen

Author: Tommy Leung | 06.23.2008 | Category: Politics, Science

NASA’s James Hansen, a leading climate scientist, called on Congress to try the CEO of oil companies for high crimes against humanity. You read correctly: high crimes against humanity. Who knew that providing the energy to allow us to live the lives we do today was so terrible? What does Hansen think powers NASA’s horribly inefficient rockets? Hansen compared the CEO of oil companies to CEOs of the tobacco industry years ago when they tried to cloud the link between smoking and cancer.

The Moral Case Against Global Warming Policies

Author: Tommy Leung | 05.31.2008 | Category: Politics, Science

How odd that someone would make a moral case against global warming. The trend is to promote it as a just cause. Global warming is presented as a problem that we should be doing all we can to fix or life as we know it will be no more. The so called “science” that supporters of global warming use to justify their position is anything but settled. New evidence is constantly being discovered that puts bigger and bigger holes in global warming theories–not laws, theories. The most ridiculous of these theories being that global warming–if it is indeed happening–is caused by human beings.

The objective here is not to go over the science that casts an overwhelming shadow of doubt on the accuracy of global warming theories but, it would be a waste not to share it. Not enough people are aware of this information as it is.

It is probably safe to say that there is no life on the other planets in our solar system. Most places are either too hot, too cold, or lacking an atmosphere like ours. Chances are, no aliens are driving carbon producing SUVs on our neighboring planets. It just so happens that Pluto is experiencing warming. There was a storm on Jupiter that scientists believe is due to climate change. Our closest neighbor, Mars, has been experiencing rising temperatures and as a result: melting. Either our horrible carbon footprints are so gigantic that it is affecting the entire solar system or it’s the sun.
