NBers

NBers,

This poll was the idea of Anthony Watts. We are going to combine, compare, and contrast results in a few days. ns

Thanks for the explanation

I still don't get the purpose of the poll. Does it have anything to do with NB trying to be more like the Onion?

NO - he should have his finger nails pulled off, and then shot

what does NASA use for fuel?

does the shuttle leave a carbon foot print when it blasts off - or is it hydro and wind powered?

isn't nasa polluting space with satellite junk - which rains down on us from time to time?

hasn't nasa raped and pillaged from the moon and mars for years now?

NASA makes big oil look pretty damn Amish to me...

shutlle cocked

Actually I think the booster is liquid hydrogen fueled, isn't it?

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Jack , The shuttle liquid hydrogen, oxygen engines provide 29%

Solid rocket engines provide 71% of the thrust at launch.

We went to the moon with (mostly) kerosene and liquid oxygen.

up -- yeah, I meant to

up -- yeah, I meant to write, isn't the initial launch engine fueled by liquid hyrodrogen...

my mistype there... I did remember that the boosters were solid. But it was the solid what, I wasn't sure about.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

As you're combining.

Then drop one vote for fired. I already voted over at Anthony's website

I wouldn't want to give the wrong impression like warmers who sign petitions claiming to be a scientist. Then claim the petition and list is a lie.

Hansen is a lier and a

Hansen is a lier and a propagandist. He is Algores lap dog and I am sure he has investments, altho quiet, in Algores carbon credits scam. Fire him, and then have all of his data and reserach seized and scrutinized.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Not only fired, but...

Hansen and all other anti-oil, Global Warming fanatics (like Al Gore), should be banned from all forms of combustion travel, and have their combustion vehicles confiscated.

Live the dream, baby!

completely agree.

They should also do what Rush suggested.  Tax newspaper use... hit em where it hurts... Do they realize how idiotic it is to sue the oil companies? 

 

Do these morons realize how easy oil has made our lives?  I just want SOMEONE to B**** slap these morons into common sense!

Yes

I like your suggestion.  

 

 

Stallone

Another Soros sock puppet

All the oilco CEOs should file defamation lawsuits. AFTER HE'S CANNED he can teach full-time at the Moonbat Breeding Pod known as Columbia.

right on

That's precisely where Hansen's money is coming from.  God forbid we question where the greens money come from though, they are purer than driven snow.

I picked 'fired' but "tried

I picked 'fired' but "tried for malfeasance" should have been a choice.

What a silly question!

Of course oil execs should be tried for crimes against humanity. So should anybody who ever owned an automobile.

And so should people who ever rode in a car.

And that goes as well for people who just even looked at a car on the road with lust in their heart because they are only justifying the ideological hegemony of the "other."

And if you used plastic? To the slammer you go!

Have you had the heat on too high in your house? Blammo! See you behind bars (and not the kind that serve Bud Light!)

Those french fries lookin' good? Nope! Trans fat. We're putting you on ice for a time to think about your crimes against humanity.

Soon, all of humanity will be jailed for crimes against humanity and Gaia (or whatever) will rise up and rejoice. May the trees release toxins that only spare Marky Mark.

No--Hansen should be tried for manipulating science. Oil execs and CEO's need a little more backbone when it comes to eco freaks.

Investigate of course

Congress doesn't have anything bettr to do.

And sine they won't investigate the Dems and their sweetheart mortgage deals, we may as well watch a bunch of kangaroos boxing.

Perhaps the liberals can

Perhaps the liberals can expand Hanson's proposal to all kinds of things: if someone actively opposes the cuts in the military that are sure to happen under an Obama presidency, they could be tried as "war mongers". If someone opposes increases in public assistance programs or education, they could be brought up on charges of "reckless endangerment of children". Hell, with this midset as policy, they could shut down any and all opposition. This guy is a "public servant"?

And why stop with trials

And why stop with trials for those opposing military cutbacks -- maybe they can just execute all current and former military personnel because we are all blood-thirsty savages.  And they won't even see the irony in that suggestion.

true statement but

You tag line is a true statement but Obama makes Hillary look good. He scares me A LOT MORE than Hillary did.

He should be sentenced

He should be given a life sentence as the official shoe shine boy for the "big oil" executives.

"an endorsement of communism is an endorsement of slavery"

This Congress should investigate?

WHAT?

The democrats in congress and the tree huggers LOVED this guy!

He is an absolute NUT paid for by the money man Soros!

This country is going to hell in a hand basket and I feel totally helpless.

We need to elect conservatives to the house and senate.

This country cannot afford to let the left get more power.

 

I hate this election!

I chose that he should

I chose that he should apologize and keep his job.

I think it would cause him more pain to have to apologize than would just simply firing him.  He'd just consider himself a martyr if he were just fired.  Like we need that.

Of course, if he shows no sign of contrition upon having to swallow his pride and continues his BS, THEN can his arse.

No, he should be...

...made to debate the issue with among others Steve McIntyre of Climate Audit.

Thank you.

Thanks for that link.  Steve McIntyre is amazing!

Hansen should be tried for

Hansen should be tried for "crimes against humanity".  He is the one spreading fear, flawed science, and false data.  How many will starve and go hungry this year because of food shortage and higher prices caused by the false claims of the AGW crowd?

Hansen's projecting, he is the one guilty of what he charges oil execs with.  Let him stew in his own juice. 

"If it's not the Crusades, it's the cartoons"

Hansen should be fired,

and Al Gore be put in jail for fraud and racketeering.

Hansen?

The market took care of Hansen.

They haven't had a hit song since Mmmm-Bop

Fired and Tried For Theft of Public Funds

If I believed in reincarnation, I would say that this guy Hansen was one of the Roman Catholic bishops who was condemning Galileo for telling them that we lived in heliocentric solar system and showing them the evidence to prove it.

This man should be fired post-haste for at the very least, incompetence and at the worst, fraud.  I believe it is the latter.  He claims to be a scientist, yet he allows his personal orthodoxy/ideology to dictate his beliefs not the evidence or lack thereof, and that makes him a fraud.  We jail all snake oil salesmen, don't we?  Especially when they are taking a government paycheck (i.e., taxpayer money).

And if it's the former, he should be taken out of the building by security right this minute.  If he can't look at the evidence and come up with the right conclusion, how can he be trusted to make intelligent decisions?  That puts an entire program and everyone who has to go in harm's way in danger.  Would you allow an incompetent doctor perform surgery on your child?  Of course not!
