James Hansen speaks about global warming

http://www.insideout.org/documentaries/meltingice/default.asp James Hansen is the director of the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies
in New York. In 1988, he was one of the first prominent scientists to raise
the alarm about the threat of global warming and he continues to be one of the country's most outspoken scientists on this issue. He worries that the planet is nearing a tipping point, beyond which irreversible changes will occur, changing Earth into a different planet.For more go to WBUR's "Meltdown: Inside Out" web site, the companion to the Radio program hosted by Walter Cronkite and reported by Dan Grossman.

(When i mentioned climactic weapons earlier i had also included the 1000+ atmospheric nuclear explosions during the 20th century which also has literature on it, and is not a conspiracy theory)

@Hofsteder I've thought about the same thing before myself! Maybe increased CO2 force water vapour, which could cause global warming instead of trace ammounts of CO2 doing it by itself. However to me its unlikely minor percentile increases from an already trace gas can throw a planetary biogeochemical cycle out of whack.

While true the WV (condenses out) becoming no longer a greenhouse gas. major forcer sunlight hits the surface (Albedo etc) the net percentage of WV in the atmosphere changes.

@Hofsteder Hello. I regret the closure of debate, i know Youtube isn't the best forum for these discussions.. I do agree with you humans are affecting the climate, blind freddy should see that the atmosphere is being juiced. Of course billions of tons of CO2 isnt a good thing, but we must keep in mind water oddly is a stronger greenhouse gas and is more abundant. Its too simplistic to box one gas as the sole problem. There is a lot of literature on climactic weapons, its cheap+deniable wafare.

The atmospheric problems are not from the trace gas carbon dioxide, our problems stem from the widespread use of climactic weapons since the 1970's and the fact that not many citizens know about them.

@Hofsteder heya! theres trace ammounts of the vital molecule ozone, < 0.01%. Ozone is repleted from from photonic induction in the upper atmosphere. The real ozone question is, how do you punch a 10,000 Km hole in one area of the atmosphere almost overnight in the mid 80's? If your answer was spay cans and refrigerators.. Think again.

Lunatics oil-coal-supporters like Limbaugh & Beck STILL support their dead theory that AGW is not real. They should be tortured & executed for advocating the deaths of coal miners in W Va & KY and forced to pay back for the property destruction (i.e. vandalism) from the endless oil spill off the coast of La in the Gult of Mexico.

I wonder if lunatic Hansen is protesting at the coal mines today. He seems to have some compulsive disorder.

In 1942 the CO2 was 400 ppm. We have seen it lower ever since then. I get this fact deleted on various warmist blogs. They cheat on facts.

CO2 is around 385 now.

That's all true!

All coast cities on 1988 are now about 30 meter underwater...

And ice are gone long away from both poles :-)
