Hansen unleashed: people he disagrees with are 'neanderthals'

OT, but in response to DikH’s April 27, 2013 @ur momisugly 4:22 pm comment:
“If the teacher asked whether the learner might suffer permanent physical harm, the experimenter replied, “Although the shocks may be painful, there is no permanent tissue damage, so please go on.”” etc., etc.
Just recently in Australia (April 22, 2013), a teacher is on 10 charges including eight counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm by conducting a ‘competition’ to see who (students) could hold onto dry ice the longest. His incident report he wrote was tendered in which he said he thought it would be a “good learning experience” for the students.
One student now uses a laptop computer because he can’t hold a pen while others suffered terrible burns to their hands that required specialist treatment.
Some students asked if they could go to the school’s sick bay, but Hilton wouldn’t let them go. Ambulances were eventually called, Newcastle Local Court heard.

Well I don’t agree with Hansen at all, but a few days ago he was publically denigrated by Canada’s minister of natural resources, who asked that Hansen should be “ashamed.” That was uncalled for, and some sort of reaction was to be expected.

Except telling the truth about Hansen isn’t “denigration” as you assert–it’s like saying a robber that’s described as a burgler in a police report has the right to react with indignation against the cops by using the term “burgler”!
Let Hansen react all he wants, but saying Hansen should be “ashamed” is a correct analyst by an elected Canadian official as well as outstanding exercise of his responsibilities to his constituency.

The real question here is: who arranged for Hansen and CBC to meet and for what purpose?
The answer is evident. This is part of the disinformation campaign against the oil sands and the Keystone XL pipeline. David Suzuki is working for CBC, and despite contravening all rules of his contract regarding political activities as an on air personality, Suzuki and his side kick Stroumbolopoulos -board member of the David Suzuki Foundation, on air CBC celebrity and now CNN…-. The Suzuki Foundation is bankrolled by the leftist billionaires that have been flowing money to Canada greens -Tides, Packard, Moore etc…-. The father of the green movement at the UN, Maurice Strong recently in an Op ed in the Globe and Mail suggested in veiled threats to ramp up the media “dialogue” in order to derail the Canadian Government stance on climate change mitigation policies. Thomas Homer-Dixon the Director of CIGI, a Balsillie/Rockefeller/Soros bankrolled institute of green proselytism hiding under the guise of international diplomacy, showed his hatred for the Canadian government policies in a recent NYT op-ed. Clearly Hansen’s interview was likely arranged by the same interests that oppose the pipeline, the oil sands and are trying to impose a carbon tax or carbon trading to Canadians and helping their friends who see their carbon credits investment go sour. Those are also supporting parties in Provincial or Federal level that will pander and enable their agenda at the expense of a captive 35 million population. CBC, taxpayer finded organization recently refused to give Canada’s revenue Agency the list of tax cheats in which some Liberal senator was caught. CBC is a disgrace and Hansen’s interview is a media party greenwashing favor to Strong and the Rockfellas. Shame on them.

Read through some of the comments at CBC. While the theory of CAGW is falling apart, turning the tied on the political and economic damage it has/is caused/causing is still a long way away. The level of scientific and economic ignorance living and growing in our society is astounding. I’m depressed. I’m going to bed.

Now you are seeing the true man he really is,ugly and insane!
Now we will see how many of his followers still stay with him………..

I would type a compelling response but my knuckles are sore from dragging on the ground all day.

Part of any political battle (and it is nearly 100% political) is getting your message out. As the MSM slowly wakes up, their first reaction is to go quiet on the issue. Not neutral per se, just silent. You can’t tell if they’ve “flipped” for a long time, until, like the Economist recently has…. they have a coming out article to test the waters and see how much backlash they get.
So one of the measures of where the MSM is at these days, is not necessarily what Hansen’s message is, but who is willing to broadcast it, and who listens to that broadcast. Here’s the last week of stats for Canada’s TV markets that I was able to find:
http://www.bbm.ca/_documents/top_30_tv_programs_english/2013/2012-13_04_15_TV_ME_NationalTop30.pdf
Of the top 30 programs that week, the CBC had only four. Of those two were “HNIC” which stands for Hockey Night In Canada. Their national news program was 30 out of 30. That the CBC aired an interview with Hansen, no surprise. But it was a minor program on a network that clings to significant market share only by broadcasting hockey games. If that’s the only major interview that Hansen could get in the Canadian market, then that’s a sign that the MSM is decreasingly interested.

“Frankly, it’s nonsense,” Mr. Oliver said, adding that Mr. Hansen “should be ashamed.”
How else should one speak of a prominent public figure who chooses to spout such unscientific exaggerated rhetoric?
—
I agree with Oliver that Hansen talks nonsense. However, I also believe that Hansen genuinely believes his nonsense, and therefore that trying to “shame” him will not work. Oliver did not choose his words wisely.
