GODFATHER Of Global Warming Alarmism James Hansen Admits Renewable Energy Is A “Nice Idea” Though Useless

We’ve got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of
economic and environmental policy.

– Timothy Wirth,
President of the UN Foundation

No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…
climate change provides the greatest opportunity to
bring about justice and equality in the world
.”
– Christine Stewart,
former Canadian Minister of the Environment

Former NASA climate commissar and eco-activist James Hansen admits what sceptics have been saying for years – renewable energy is useless.

“The hope that the wind and the sun and geothermal can provide all of our energy is a nice idea but I find it unlikely that that’s possible.”

“Suggesting that renewables will let us phase rapidly off fossil fuels in the United States, China, India, or the world as a whole is almost the equivalent of believing in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.”

Will environmentalists and policy makers heed the rare wisdom of the godfather of global warming and climate alarmism? Or is seeming (to be green) more important than reliable, clean energy solutions that work?

Or does embracing clean nuclear energy, ignite “population bomb” fear amongst the Malthusians at the United Nations?

Nuclear should be in the energy mix for biodiversity

Monday, 15 December 2014

Leading conservation scientists from around the world have called for a substantial role for nuclear power in future energy-generating scenarios in order to mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity.

In an open letter to environmentalists with more than 60 signatories, the scientists ask the environmental community to “weigh up the pros and cons of different energy sources using objective evidence and pragmatic trade-offs, rather than simply relying on idealistic perceptions of what is ‘green’ “.

    ‘Renewables are futile while coal has to be artificially priced out’. That doesnt work if you only price it out for certain countries. That is defacto redistributing the World’s wealth by another name.
