Two decades after he first told legislators of the dangers of greenhouse gases and global warming, a key climate scientist repeats his message with even greater urgency. Director James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies made his comments at the National Press Club in Washington as he was honored for sounding the alarm over planetary climate change. VOA's Paul Sisco reports.

  • Both cigarette carcinogenesis and anthropogenic climate change are scientific theories that are strongly supported by peer-reviewed models and data.

    Both are also disputed by well-funded disinformation campaigns.

    Renowned historian Naomi Oreskes explored the connections between those campaigns, and she eloquently explained the anti-communist origins of greenhouse denialism:

    ALLL THESE "EXPERTS"--STILL THE SAME BULLSHIT

  • @nancidrew4 ...Thanks for you comment. Climate change can not be explained by natural rhythms....They are not strong enough, to produce the results we are experiencing, and will be experiencing. Fossil fuel burning, at this point...is a largely unacknowledged crime against humanity. Hansen is doing his best in either neutral, or sometimes hostile media environment. When your house in on fire, there's nothing wrong with being an alarmist.

  • Global warming is a lie! These scientists will turn us all back to communism.

  • Why does this video feature a lawyer for energy speaking on behalf of a number of scientists????? Wouldn't it be much better to hear directly from those scientists and know who they are?
