Canuck - all your anger is absolutely justfied .... but I would not worry too much about this nonsense. This kind of rhetoric comes not because he is winning, but because he is desperate. The truth is that the general public are just not buying it - no matter what the current political fashion is now. Hansen knows this and he knows that is only a matter of time before the politics catches up. He knows that 2009 is a key year with a new US president and a Kyoto follow-up targeted. He also knows that the man in the street isn't there yet. With 6 out of 10 polled stating that they dont belieive the scientists ...
