Where else would Daryl Hannah and Jim Hansen walk arm-in-arm? - March 02, 2009

Jim Hansen, the earth scientist known for his outspokenness about global warming, is marching today as part of a climate protest against burning coal. The focus of all the attention is the Capitol Power Plant, a coal-burning monstrosity just blocks from the US Capitol building that is one of the biggest sources of emissions in the District of Columbia. Hundreds of protestors have reportedly turned out, even in the snow that coats Washington several inches deep and snarled commutes this morning.

Over at Nature's Twitter feed, reporter Jeff Tollefson notes that Hansen says he is willing to get arrested. Check out the action live as Jeff reports it.

Have just read an article about an interview you did for The Sunday Times and I am appalled that the farm that was given to a section of the public to provide food has been sold over their heads. Is this Governor Arnies fault or what ? What has happened to the "Home of the Brave " and the "Land of thee Free" ? Just wanted to send you this e-mail by way of support and wish you well for the future.
Regards
And a Merry Christmas !
