James Hansen
As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
James Hansen
Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
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
The five warmest years over the last century occurred in the last eight years.
James Hansen
The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change.
James Hansen
It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.
James Hansen
The greatest danger hanging over our children and grandchildren is initiation of changes that will be irreversible on any time scale that humans can imagine.
James Hansen
