What oxymoronic bollocks! Did Key Joyce English Brownlee and co all have their fingers in their ears when James Hansen visited in 2011?

Gas is a ‘bridge to nowhere’ (http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/03/01/428764/ddrop-in-warming-requires-rapid-massive-deployment039-of-zero-carbon-power-not-gas/)
