Dr. James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, is none too pleased with the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. On The Huffington Post yesterday, he wrote:
"For all its 'green' aura, Waxman-Markey locks in fossil fuel business-as-usual and garlands it with a Ponzi-like 'cap-and-trade' scheme."
Read the full post here to experience the full extent of Dr. Hansen's displeasure and disagreement with the Waxman-Markey bill, which he also refers to as a "monstrous absurdity hatched in Washington after energetic insemination by special interests." Ouch.
Fiery rhetoric to be sure, but with good reason: this guy knows his climate science. A better way to stabilize levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, according to Hansen, is a carbon fee-and-dividend approach.
