This is a collection of the most intriguing questions from the audience and answers, by Hansen, on issues such as sea level rise, hurricanes, and the ongoing censorship of climate scientists by the Bush administration.
Dr. James Hansen is one of the great climate scientists of our time. He is Director of the NASA Institute for Space Studies in New York City and he teaches at Columbia University.
Even though he was censored by the White House, attacked by coal and oil corporations, and ignored by the media, he has consistently warned that the impact that humans have on the climate is bringing about changes that may be irreversible if action is not taken now. Hansen says that we need to slow emissions, as another decade of increasing greenhouse gases would practically guarantee the elimination of Arctic sea ice, and accelerate the disintegration of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets.
