James Hansen

James Hansen

James Hansen
Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
James Hansen
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.
James Hansen
Rising carbon price is essential to 'decarbonize' the economy - to remove the nation towards the era beyond fossil fuels.
