DotEarth Q & A: Dr. James E. Hansen

Good news!
potholer54, who's a semi-retired science journalist from Australia has produced 5 excellent YouTubes on the whole science of Global Warming, as well as many other great science vids.

Yesterday, he uploaded his latest, which I highly recommend -- already 4,884 views!

5. Climate Change -- isn't it natural?

It debunks denier's lies about periods of earth's history which had high levels of CO2, particularly the Ordovician

spini123 are you serious why do you blame conservatives when leftist liberals kill more people with their ideology and you quote "GOD help us al"l the left does not believe in god its not PC remember those dam Christians revise your text book buy the original version of what you are studying not that rewrite you have!

I guess my Dad wasn't a genius-all he got was killed in a VW in '62. I MISS him-he was an "early adapter" of gas saving auto's, which the VW was. anything we can do to clean our world back up EXCEPT for killing humans 9the alleged problem) and that doesn't ROB us "noble peasants," I'm ALL for it. If we must kill humans though-Please start with the GENIUSES FIRST! I don't want them scaring us noble peasants until it can't be avoided any longer. LOL!

Dr Hansen useed these dices in the late 80s. How recent is this video? It is still an effective pedagogical tool since it says that cool years can still happen, but the trends is towards a temperature increase. Amazing that this video is still as relevant that the predictions of Hansen in the 80s have all been confirmed.

The iinterviewer states the date is 20 years to the day after the 1988 Congressional hearings.

Spini, where were you educated?  Stalin was a leftist (communist) as were the Khmer Rouge people. The leftists have killed more people because of idealogy than Hitler. It's the lefties that are trying to jam this crap down our throats. Sorry, there are too many of us with common sense who won't be fooled by this "cap and trade" nonsense.

There's something all you fools should remember... Just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean it isn't true. All the negative comments here stem from a conservative political agenda. The worst kind of anti-intellectual conservatism, reminiscent of Stalin or the Kehmer Rouge. They'd probably be happy to kill all the teachers, doctors and scientists, and make us all noble peasant farmers. God help us all.

I'm just glad that this time James Hansen has put enough incriminating evidence out about his beliefs in AGW that when he changes his mind again there will be no dispute as to his previous convictions.

I think time will convict Mr. Hansen of being an activist fool who has manipulated data to benefit his career. People in 50 years will laugh that anybody ever believed his rantings.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

This man is an idiot. The globe has been cooling for more than 10 years now.

Looks like the Rush Limbaugh Dittohead party crowd has descended on YouTube to give us their (Exxon's) brilliant insights (propaganda).
