Who would you select as the winner of the 2014 Environmental Hall of Shame Award?

I'm kind of torn between Southern and Abbot. Southern's crimes were more immediately and directly severe, but Abbot's will likely have more long-term effects.

For Abbot... how about tying him to a tree in the outback for a few hours during a bad heat wave?

How about Vlad the Putin for making a mockery of world order or the Assahola in Iran for brain melding and taking over the brain of Obama.

Abbott. Prize: A lifetime in Australia without A/C.

Mario Cuomo

despite Marie Osmond, Cuomo did not die Monday.

China and all the manufactures who send orders there.

Jimmy Hansen for corrupting data.

Al Gore for promoting lying:

Quote by Al Gore, former U.S. vice president, and large CO2 producer: "I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are,

Paul Ehrlich for lobbying for higher energy prices.

Quote by Paul Ehrlich, professor, Stanford University: “Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”

Barry Obama for selling out the USA in the name of Climate Change.

Michael Mann for continuing his lawsuit aimed at silencing those who disagree with him.

Tony Abbott is a hero for ending Australia's carbon tax.

Let's try Liberal Morons who think they can SOCIALIZE the world with their disinformation about what is "actually" going on with the climate changing for 4.5 billion years?

If you really think a total atmospheric change of 0.012% over 350 years of human industrialization has really caused a catastrophic outcome (or is even coming close to pushing this planet to the "BRINK" of disaster), then maybe you should add yourself to the list of "Extremely Ashamed of Themselves" for posting asinine questions?

The "RUNAWAY GREENHOUSE EFFECT" was debunked by all of science. That means that a 0.012% change in our atmosphere (over 350 years of industrialization) simply CAN NOT "gitty-up" and "runaway" with our climate. The "ACTUAL" rise in temperature over the past 350 years is about 0.87C.

Let's also add to that the "current warming claims" are based on very incomplete data from the past. The Little Ice Age showed an extreme cooling period that was preceded by an extreme warming period during the Medieval Warming Period that (at the least) paralleled our current warming period.

There's nothing extra-ordinary about our current warming (EXCEPT, the extreme communication skills we have achieved since 1988 (Al Gore invented it) - internet).

Al Gore....hands down!

I littered a Sprite can the other day, so I vote for me.
