Same old ….. same old. The trouble is people swallow it as to invent NEW CLIMATE.
Hey General, will you try to kill the pipeline to jack the price up on oil delivered just to make your decisions on military biofuels at $26 to $400 per gallon look good?
Well, since James Hansen said Obama only had four years to save the planet, back on January 17th 2009, he should just weep uncontrollably and crawl into a hole.

Touche!
Merely considering the KXL has caused an epic drought.
Its for the children.
Untold environmental damage.
Oil industry subsidized by taxpayers.
Presiding:Senator Menendez,
Is it any wonder, this guy is presiding? He loves Global warming and tropical climates!
Hansen testifying about the KXL oil pipe line is like a kidnapper testifying about what duct tape he uses to bind and gag his victims.
Who is on Panel Two? The link has nothing on who is on Panel Two.
I predict he will be quoting the fictitious 2 million “comments”.
I suggest some one primes the appropriate members of the senate committee to ask for audited proof of the number of comments and what measures were taken to avoid the same people posting many comments using the same or different names.

A scientist who has become an activist ceases to be a scientist, even if he was once an astronomer.
It will be along the lines of:
Hot is cold and cold is hot, freedom is slavery, war is peace and ignorance is strength.
I don’t make forecasts on what people do… they’re too predictable.
“The possibility consequently exists that at perhaps precisely the right moment near the end-Holocene, the latest iteration of the genus Homo unwittingly stumbled on the correct atmospheric GHG recipe to perhaps ease or delay the transition into the next glacial. Under the antithesis “Skeptics” and “Warmists” thus find themselves on the mutual, chaotic climate ground where the efficacy of CO2 as a GHG had better be right. ”

He will find a way to say no, in some kind of dramatic way like one of these:
As Hansen has an ego the size of a football stadium, he is certain to say a lot of outrageous stuff, if he gets really cranky he might advocate a full US nuclear strike against Canada’s tar sands to get rid of the problem forever.
At 2 minutes 34 into his testimony, Tyra Banks bursts through his skin like an alien embryo and lays into the committee chairman….
Surely these decisions are made by economists, engineers and politicians. What has a partisan eco-warrior got to do with it, anyway?
Will he show a picture of his grand children? – I just love when he do that
It would be great and appropriate for a Senator to go after Brune, and his backing of the criminal conspiracy against Chevron by big green. He should be asked why should he be considered to be any more accurate in his claims against the KXL than he was in supporting the anti-Chevron scam, And, by the way, did he personally profit from or participate in anyway, or his organization, in the anti-Chevron conspiracy?
I’m pretty sure it will involve the planet Venus.
Not too warm and not too cold would be nice. Kinda average, but warmer in winter and cooler in summer, but only on hot days or cold days if you know what I mean.
Our grandchildren just aren’t going to know what oil is…
Surely he is going there to apologize for overestimating the amount of warming and for his inability and his former GISS coworkers inability to anticipate the pause.
Oh, and he’ll apologize for that poorly written ForTran code, and the belated release of it, and his rude comments upon release of it. And he’ll apologize for not recognizing Steve McIntyre for finding problems with his results, And for calling Steve and others names like ‘court jesters’ when they didn’t let him get away with his errors.
Okay, I’ll stop there.
