Within days of the conclusion of the Paris Agreement at the UN talks in mid-December, two leading US scientists have cast serious doubt on its ability to avert dangerous levels of climate change.Although Hansen is an honest and highly qualified climate scientist, he has also been brainwashed by capitalist propaganda that insists on economic growth regardless of consequences.
