More quotes by James Hansen
CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.
James Hansen
Only in the last few years did the science crystallize, revealing the urgency - our planet really is in peril. If we do not change course soon, we will hand our children a situation that is out of their control.
James Hansen
The urgency derives from the nearness of climate tipping points.
James Hansen
I was lucky to grow up at a time when it was not difficult for the child of a tenant farmer to make his way to the state university.
James Hansen
Rising carbon price is essential to 'decarbonize' the economy - to remove the nation towards the era beyond fossil fuels.
James Hansen

James Hansen
Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril.
James Hansen

Some Democrats deserve to be criticized.
James Hansen
I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change. No longer than a decade at most.
James Hansen
We have to, in the next ten years, begin to decrease the rate of carbon dioxide emissions and then flatten it out. If that doesn't happen in ten years, we're going to be passing certain tipping points. If the ice sheets begin to disintegrate, what can you do about it? You can't tie a rope around an ice sheet.
James Hansen
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
James Hansen
As you get more global warming, you should see an increase in the extremes of the hydrological cycle - droughts and floods and heavy precipitation.
James Hansen
I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
James Hansen
...chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to [should] be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature [Hansen] accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.
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
The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change.
James Hansen
The 5-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade, which we interpret as a combination of natural variability and a slow down in the growth rate of net climate forcing.
James Hansen
The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains. Coal-fired power plants are factories of death.
James Hansen
Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate.
James Hansen
