The NASA global warming scientist James Hansen (who is the reason George Deutsch got outed) will be on 60 Minutes Sunday night. I doubt anything new will be revealed (he has actually been quoted as being happy with NASA's new communication policy, and will get back to science instead of soapboxing-- and NASA did just issue a press release on the ice caps melting as I mentioned in the last entry), but even if not it should be interesting.
