PS. Those "news" people are trying desperately to match the number of lies. Faith in the news media is misplaced. Political extremists on both sides at best take things out of context and attribute false motive to people, and at worst outright lie and sensationalize. Which news person said that Trump is calling for the extermination of latinos?

Anyhow, I thought I'd point out that the difference between you and aerohead is that you're disagreeable and make no attempt at having a reasonable discussion, while aerohead disagrees without being (overtly) disagreeable and attempts at a dialogue. Ad-hominems and guilt by association tactics don't convey goodwill or anything of substantive value.
James Hansen witnessed so much miscommunication in the press,that he adopted a policy of providing written testimony to any and all,whenever he appeared at hearings. He didn't want any opportunity for misinterpretation,which could end up in the mass media.
Some of his testimony was 'modified' by Presidential appointees friendly with the fossil-fuels industry.Hansen would have to reappear to the same committee,to disavow his own',doctored' testimony.No wonder the public is so confused.
