The sky is falling!

“James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming…” [Link]

I suppose pointing Mr. Hansen to the first amendment’s guarantee of free speech would be too much to ask of him, and do little good anyway. He would just point out that it doesn’t give us the right to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. On the other hand, just who is it that’s yelling “fire”?
