Flashback: » Al Gore, James Hansen, and Civil Disobedience

In a little-noticed op-ed in this past Thursday’s New York Times (“The Big Melt,” with a tip of the hat to Free Democracy for posting it) , Nicholas Kristoff reported on a conversation with Al Gore in which the former Vice-President said: “I can’t understand why there aren’t rings of young people blocking bulldozers, and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.” His comment was in response to the ever-quickening pace of polar ice meltoff, with all its deadly and catastrophic implications, and the role played by coal-fired power plants in advancing our demise.

The comment was also strikingly similar to a recent quote from Dr. James Hansen, the top climate scientist at NASA: “It seems to me that young people, especially, should be doing whatever is necessary to block construction of dirty (no CCS) coal-fired power plants.”
