Please send your nominations for each category by e-mail through the “Contact the Author” link or put it in the comment section . If you would, please include a short reason that your nominee should be chosen and suggest a suitable gift if they win.
Nominations will be taken until January 31st, 2016. The nominees will then be listed and this site will conduct a poll to determine the winner in each category.

For Hall of Shame: 114th Congress of the United States. Reason: For their repeated acts and statements against climate science, scientist, and clean new energy technologies, and for being out of step with the American public who by a majority in both parties support efforts to reduce CO2.
