James Hansen (Director Of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies At Columbia) Claims ‘Predominant Moral Issue Of The 21st Century… Will Be Climate Change’…Compares Fighting Global Warming To Fighting The Nazis
Typical Lefty. The murdering of innocent babies, and the enslaving of an entire nation, doesn’t rank as high on the ‘morality fight’ as Global Warming . . .President Obama, finally, took a get-involved get-tough approach to negotiations on health care legislation and the arms control treaty with Russia — with success. Could this be the turn-around for what might still be a great presidency?
The predominant moral issue of the 21st century, almost surely, will be climate change, comparable to Nazism faced by Churchill in the 20th century and slavery faced by Lincoln in the 19th century. Our fossil fuel addiction, if unabated, threatens our children and grandchildren, and most species on the planet.
Yet the president, addressing climate in the State of the Union, was at his good-guy worst, leading with “I know that there are those who disagree…” with the scientific evidence. This weak entrée, almost legitimizing denialists, was predictably greeted by cheers and hoots from well-oiled coal-fired Congressmen. The president was embarrassed and his supporters cringed.
Perhaps posterity may remember that Obama reduced the number of nuclear-tipped missiles, or that he added ten percent of Americans to the health care rolls. But if he dreams of being a great president, he needs to take on the great moral challenge of our century.

That damn Katla volcano goes off in Iceland and they'll have all the "climate change" they can handle for several months. As for our "fossil fuel addiction" being "the great moral challenge of our century", Hansen's remarks reveal a petulant little Luddite running the Goddard Institute. He'd hand civilization over to Islam in a heartbeat if he thought that would regress its progress enough to "save the climate". The predominant moral issue of the 21st century is going to be preventing people like this from handing the world over to Islamist savages. Rand used to call this partnership the Witch Doctor and Attila.
As for the rest, I would think that saving women and girls worldwide from the horrors of FGM, child/forced marriage, and life as burka'd slaves to Muslim masters might rank high on most lists. But I guess for some people assigning a guard to each female the instant she is caught being pregnant to make sure she doesn't get "ideas" about her own body and future and do something uppity is much more important.
Women are bascially just tits and ass anyway, right boys?
