Can protest the government. he is the nasa climate scientist who in 1988, after more than a decade of evidence gathering, declared that nasa was quote 99% certain that the global warming trend was not a natural variation. in other words, human induced global warming had begun, but moonlighted as an activist. hansen said you can t testify against the government. he was arrested outside the white house in 2010 calling for a ban on mountain top removal. we recently learned ecuador plans to sell more than a third of its 8 million hectors of rain forest. we are reminded here in this country, the lead government scientist on climate changed has reached the point where he feels his efforts are better served. kudos to james hansen.
