I am a day late posting my Champion of the Month for February of 2015. But it is worth the wait. Kayo Nelson's Champion of the Month is Global Warming expert James Hansen.

I give the honor to Hansen symbolically representing all the many people out there fighting the good fight on the climate change front. Hansen was not only one of the first but he has also been one of the most persistent people out there fighting for global awareness.

For those of you still unconvinced, or who actually think global warming is a hoax, I have a simple question for you: Name me one time in the history of the world when all the scientists got together (okay, not all of them, only 97% or so) to pull a great big hoax on the public. Tell me just one time when a majority of scientists in the world conspired together to tell a great big lie. ONE TIME!

And yet I can give you example after example of when scientists came to a conclusion, but business and industry leaders didn't like that conclusion because they thought it would hurt business and so they cried "No! No! Not true! The scientists are lying!" Probably the biggest example in my lifetime was when the tobacco industry vociferously denied that smoking caused cancer. "No, no, no! Scientists are lying! We need more studies! It's those darn liberals!"

Another example within my lifetime: Leaded gasoline.

Don't be fooled again people. Global warming is real. Industry leaders are going to fight like hell to say it isn't. Thankfully we have people like James Hansen fighting for truth.
