Climate change advocate says scientists lack PR skills to make public listen

Dr. James Hansen of NASA says skeptics are winning the battle because climate scientists lack the PR skills to make the public listen. Just as with Obama and his miserable policy flops, the problem is not their failure and incompetence, it’s their messaging. The stupid masses just refuse to listen to their betters unless the latter actually say something worth listening to. Go figure.

  • climate scientists lack the PR skills to make the public listen.

    No, it's not the PR skills they lack, it's the FACTS!!!

  • Climate scientists should fund themselves with returns from smart investments in shipping & commerce soon to occur within the North-West Passage

  • Seriously? So Oscar nominated movies (and winners) and ex- Vice President and Hollywood "stars" and Nobel Prize winners are not good marketing? Hilarious!

  • Its not a lack of PR skills, its the fact people are tired of people like the Goracle yelling the sky is falling every five minutes for years....Stick a fork in climate change. I think its done.

  • Well, after you have been lied to and lied to and lied to and lied to and lied to and....well you get the idea, even the gullible fools get to the point where they dont believe anything these hustlers and their media shills blabber.

  • It's tough for the climate communist to win against reality even if they have been given over $10 billion dollars for their propaganda campaign.

  • The Left is correct to blame any of their failures on PR, since every advancement they've ever managed has come from media hype shouting down reality and facts.

  • 20 years later, we're still waiting for the sea levels to rise. He's just another enviro-pagan kook.

    • That's just it, too many people are old enough to have heard all of the doom & gloom alarmism from the Global Warming/Climate Change crowd. The same people who wanted to dump soot to melt the polar ice caps 30 some years ago to the "plaent has a fever" BS, it's not working. James Hansen is a fraudster, Michael Mann is a fraudster, & Al Gore is not just a fraudster, he is 100% full of sh!t.
