Keystone XL: NASA's James Hansen risks arrest…. again

Do these people even know what they are protesting?

For all the manipulative appeal to cloying emotion displayed by the oft repeated “for our grandchildren”, and the relentless propaganda of 6 or more years, it is truly astounding that they don’t look to have been able to muster one 20 yo to their cause.
If they can’t even get their own children to take an interest, where can these people be placed on the spectrum of the lunatic fringe? Are their children simply too mortified and ashamed to come out publicly and denounce all this?

Activists arrested at White House protesting Keystone pipeline
Shortly after noon, D.C. police began arresting the protesters, who included actress Daryl Hannah as well as prominent climate scientist James E. Hansen, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune and civil rights veteran Julian Bond. Some of the activists tied themselves to the gates with plastic handcuffs; others sat and refused to budge despite officers’ multiple requests. Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, which has helped galvanize significant grass-roots opposition to the plan, said Obama cannot ignore that the carbon-intensive process of extracting crude from Alberta’s oil sands will destabilize the planet. “Whether it’s convenient or not for our politicians, this is the test,” McKibben said in an interview before being arrested, adding that Wednesday’s protest and a climate rally slated to take place Sunday in Washington were designed “just to keep this in front of people’s minds. . . . This is the first environmental issue that’s brought Americans into the streets in many, many years.”

As always, God bless you, Tim, for your courage and intelligence in stating the skeptical truth. You make a very good point about the Hatch Act. But these days, it seems like the Hatch Act is honored more in the breach than in the observance.
My constant refrain, spoken while blue in the face: FIRE HANSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anthony, Just so I don’t get this wrong, James Hansen still works at NASA as of today and is in charge of Tempature Data that is released to the public?.
Aug 2011 James Hansen was arrested for protesting also. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/04/10/hansen-and-schmidt-of-nasa-giss-under-fire-engineers-scientists-astronauts-ask-nasa-administration-to-look-at-emprical-evidence-rather-than-climate-models/
How can anyone trust tempature data from NASA ever with Hansen still working for NASA?

‘I wonder if there is some sort of “Three strikes” law for people like him? ‘
If there had been he would have gone past it long ago, the reality either he dies or you have to wait for a new president before he loses his job has he is in like a horse tick .
Meanwhile he carries on trashing NASA reputation , something they will come to regret when their funding goes bye, bye

It’s good to see they’re all wrapped up nice and warm. It’s nice to see that Daryl Hannah is so concerned about global warming that she was willing and was in fact arrested…….again. It was great to see the concerned Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director there too.
Here is Daryl Hanna in October last year protesting yet again over oil sands. How did she get back home and what fuel was used? See the irony and hypocrisy.

Protestors will be flying to Defend Our Coast from all over Canada

There’s even the possibility American celebrities like Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo will drop by, since the two Hollywood hotshots have publicly endorsed the event.
The speakers and many of the participants will be flying in from across Canada, some of them from outside the country.
An angry young Alanis Morissette might ask, isn’t it ironic to burn jet fuel made from oil to attend a rally to protest burning oil?
The irony would only be compounded if the jet fuel was made from oil sands crude, which will undoubtedly be the case for the return journey out of Vancouver International.
I debated this not insignificant hypocrisy of the eco-warriors with Mike Hudema of Greenpeace on Facebook the other day.

Daryl Hanna did turn up for the protest.

Hansen is a self-parody, besides a body double for Homer Simpson.

I love it. Go, Homer! Go! …..errr Dr. Hansen!

Yup, looks like ol’ Hansen’s made the News (again):
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/02/13/top-nasa-climate-scientist-arrested-again-in-white-house-protest/?intcmp=features
NASA’s top climate scientist and government official James Hansen was arrested Wednesday outside the White House — at least the fourth arrest now for the scientist.
Hansen, a controversial and highly vocal proponent of the argument that man’s actions have dramatically affected the planet’s climate, is the director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies — a position for which he earns a $180,000 taxpayer-paid salary.
—
You see, my friends, Hansen and his liberal, leftist buddies are already set for life with huge earnings and savings, and all the creature comforts life in the U.S.A. can provide. And, apparently, he wants to ruin the lives of working class Americans – i.e. those who would potentially be put to work constructing and operating the Keystone pipeline. Their jobs, their incomes are secure. Yes, Hansen and his greedy cronies will be rewarded with double digit percentage salary increases, and generous government benefit, while you and I twist in the wind with high private sector unemployment, high energy prices, insane regulations and government intervention, and higher taxes (even a carbon tax).
