James Hansen speaking tour of NZ

One of the world's leading climate change scientists, Dr James Hansen, has been touring New Zealand in May with a series of public talks on "Climate Change: a scientific, moral and legal issue".

Dr Hansen has been explaining why it is impossible to get climate change under control and preserve a decent future for our grandchildren unless we leave most of the remaining coal in the ground. To quote: "Human-made climate change is a moral issue. It pits the rich and the powerful against the young and the unborn, against the defenseless and against nature. Climate change is a political issue. But politics fails when there is a revolving door between government and the fossil fuel-industrial complex. Climate change is a legal issue. The judiciary provides the possibility of holding our governments accountable for their duty to protect the public interest."

This video is a sample of his talk given in Auckland.
