Hanson argues that CEO's of corporations that have deliberately misled the public and financed the promotion of doubt and denial in the face of overwhelming evidence of Climate Change should be put on trial. I think he should have included politicians too, perhaps even more so because they are the ones who are supposed to be acting in the publics interest and on their behalf.

If you have never heard of Hanson then I suggest a google or Youtube search. This segment of 60 Minutes a year or so ago will explain much more about what I am on about.

I'm still waiting for a SXM politician to ring the alarm bells with this, not one of them really seems to have the balls to speak up and champion the issue. Are there any leaders out there at all? Or are they all just followers, one by one jumping in front of the growing environmentally concerned crowd and yelling 'follow me!".
