James Hansen arrested for civil disobedience

(h/t Watts Up With That). We always knew Hansen was a crazy alarmist, having given evidence in favour of the Kingsnorth demonstrators [vandals - Ed] in the UK. But now he has gone too far, and finds himself in the care of State troopers in West Virginia:

More than two dozen people — including actress Daryl Hannah and NASA climate scientist James Hansen — were arrested Tuesday in the latest protest in a growing civil disobedience campaign against mountaintop removal in Southern West Virginia. Full AP story here.

Hansen said: "I am not a politician; I am a scientist and a citizen."

As Anthony Watts rightly states:

No Jimbo, you are an activist and an advocate for a cause.

Note to NASA: Now can you fire this guy?

Well said!
