The grandfather of global warming says the Copenhagen summit on climate change is a farce!
Climate scientist James Hansen, who first wrote about global warming in the 1980s, says: “The fundamental problem is that fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy. As long as they are, they are going to be used,” he said. “It’s remarkable. They refuse to recognise and address the fundamental problem and the obvious solution.”
The solution? “We are going to have to move beyond fossil fuels at some point. Why continue to stretch it out longer?” he said. “The only way we can do that is by putting a price on carbon emissions. The business community and the public need to understand that there will be a gradually increasing price on carbon emissions.”
Gorilla says: “Listen to grandpa, he’s been there and done it!”
