Levin: Nasa Head says China best hope to save world from global warming

This clip may sound like it starts out slow but it revs up about 3 minutes in. Levin is talking about a man by the name of James Hansen who is a Nasa Laboratory head. Levin cites an article from the Washington Times which says:

November’s election made it quite clear that the people of the United States do not want to radically change our society in the name of global warming. Pretty much every close House race went to the Republicans, while the Democrats won all the Senate squeakers. The difference? The House on June 26, 2009, passed a bill limiting carbon-dioxide emissions and getting into just about every aspect of our lives. The Senate did nothing of the sort.

The nation’s most prominent publicly funded climatologist is officially angry about this, blaming democracy and citing the Chinese government as the “best hope” to save the world from global warming. He also wants an economic boycott of the U.S. sufficient to bend us to China’s will.

NASA laboratory head James Hansen’s anti-democracy rants were published while he was on a November junket in China, but they didn’t get much attention until recently. On Jan. 12, the hyperprolific blogger Marc Morano put them on his Climate Depot site, and within hours, the post went viral. In a former life, Mr. Morano was chief global-warming researcher for Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican.

According to Mr. Hansen, compared to China, we are “the barbarians” with a “fossil-money- ‘democracy’ that now rules the roost,” making it impossible to legislate effectively on climate change. Unlike us, the Chinese are enlightened, unfettered by pesky elections. Here’s what he blogged on Nov. 24:

“I have the impression that Chinese leadership takes a long view, perhaps because of the long history of their culture, in contrast to the West with its short election cycles. At the same time, China has the capacity to implement policy decisions rapidly. The leaders seem to seek the best technical information and do not brand as a hoax that which is inconvenient.”

If you want to skip Levin reading the above, jump to 2:50. After reading about Hansen, who wants Communist China to bend the US to her will with an economic boycott, all in the name of global warming, he turns on the Meet the Press music and mocks David Gregory for asking Republican Tom Coburn this past sunday if he condemns those who feel the President is “trying to usher in a system that will injure America and deny them of their liberty.” He then aims his passions at the Left and it ends on a great note.

This is great radio! Enjoy!
