I don't get why this idiot thinks America is the source of the world's CO2 problem. For anyone ignorant to this fact, most developing and underdeveloped countries are the source of CO2, and it comes from coal burning. He may have been silenced, and thats bad, but America cannot change global warming because we are a small portion of the CO2 that is and will be coming from India and China, especially after their industrialization stage.

Brandonduboff - you can check here:

carma org/region.

Poor countries are looking at developed, such as America. If America won't start to reduce CO2, why poor countries should do that? That's how they think.

[Brandonduboff]

Oh, so if America stops, everyone else will? Im sure you can understand the flaw...America has zero credibility (I believe senator Biden was first to point this out) in the international atmosphere(no pun intended).

Brandonduboff: "Oh, so if America stops, everyone else will?"

At least it will be good example of intelligent action.

Hansen was silenced, Miskolczi was probably silenced (I just don't know his story). On what it can depend?

[Imhotepintheflesh]

U.S. temperature records from the Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) displayed a discontinuity around the year 2000. NASA corrected the data and reported that "data for 2000 and later years were inadvertently appended to USHCN data for prior years without including the adjustments at these stations that had been defined by the NOAA National Climate Data Center."

[Imhotepintheflesh]

The correction resulted in a slight(0.15 degree C)decrease in U.S. average temperatures post-2000, and 1934 replaced 1998 as the warmest year in the U.S. Note that the years have changed rankings before: in a 2001 paper 1934 was marginally warmer than 1998.

[starrdreams]

Imhotepintheflesh:"The correction resulted in a slight(0.15 degree C)decrease"

And as I know, in long term line it still going up.

[Imhotepintheflesh]

Congressman Darrell Issa questioned Hansen's motivations in criticising the Bush administration, noting that he supported 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and also received a $250,000 Heinz Environment Award from the Heinz Foundation, run by Kerry's wife, in 2001.

Now that is good science - $250,000 ! WOW

I did'nt know Bullshit cost that much!

[starrdreams]

Imhotepintheflesh: "Congressman Darrell Issa questioned Hansen's motivations in criticising the Bush administration"

And what Hansen answered?

Imhotepintheflesh: "received a $250,000 Heinz Environment Award from the Heinz Foundation, run by Kerry's wife, in 2001."

Hansen said: "the Heinz Environment Award is

an award that is named for John Heinz, a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania."

And Mr. Souder said: "I understand... It is not from Theresa Heinz directly or from John Kerry directly."

[starrdreams]

Imhotepintheflesh: "Now that is good science - $250,000 ! WOW"

Hm... What the point?

Parts of that video with Hansen's testimony about climate change you can find in my collection.
