DotEarth Q & A: Dr. James E. Hansen

moski3 - you are exactly RIGHT! Its all about making money, thats why these people lie about it and ignore the facts.

If you want to find out what peoples motivation is for doing something, look at what they might stand to gain!

Isn't this the guy that tried to push the new coming "Ice Age" back in the 70s. Sorry, wrong then, Wrong now!

And why aren't all the Liberals that REALLY believe this CO2 crap killing themselves to save the World. Their breathing is killing the world!
Polar Bears repopulating # are UP.


Liberal = LIARS for Money! Follow the money!! Grants, Al Gore and his carbon credit hoax, restriction of freedoms/ TAXING the crap out of everyone over a HOAX.
Follow the money of the liberals investing!

There is a 95% probability global temperatures will rise MORE than 3.5C (6.3F) by 2100.

MIT News, May 19, 2009
Research, conducted by MIT and published in the American Meteorological Society's JOURNAL OF CLIMATE, predicts a median probability that worldwide surface temperatures will RISE 5.2 degrees Celsius (9.3F) by the year 2100.

if relying on or defending fake, fudged and cherry picked data helps you cling to your faith a little longer.
god bless you.
(really had no idea i was a neocon, i thought i was just good at math, who knew?))

Well duffer, I've found denialists who troll the web fall into one of three main categories:
1) Neo-Conservative wackos who believe in a NWO conspiracy, and don't think the U.S. should do anything to clean up the mess they've created.
2) Fundamentalist religious wackos who believe in the Rapture and an end of the world conspiracy.
3) Paid oil company trolls.

So duffer, which one are you???

your reasoning is just as well thought out as your science.
congrats on consistancy

We make 90 million tons of EXTRA CO2 each DAY. That's 3.4% of the natural production.
Atmospheric CO2 is rising 2ppm per year (0.5%), TWICE that of 50 years ago, and CO2 levels are 35% above the highest levels for 650,000 years.

85% of our CO2 is dissolved in the oceans, and in 30 years CO2 will reach 450ppm which most oceanographers warn will acidify oceans enough to interfere with the growth of many calcium carbonate forming planktons and corals.
They make the base of the ocean's food chain.

The fact that GHG retain heat and act like a warm blanket is not a theory, it's a well known fact. How much temps will rise and what to do about it is debatable.

However, Temps have spiked 0.4C in 30 years with no increase in Solar radiation. 50% of the arctic and mountain glaciers have already disappeared. Plants, animals and insects are all migrating north.
In twenty years most Tibetan Plateau glaciers and Andean glaciers will be gone and major rivers will be going dry in the summer.

CO2 @388ppm is 35% higher than it's been in 650,000 years.
CO2 is going up 2ppm/year, TWICE as fast as 50 years ago. In less than 30 years CO2 will be 450ppm, which oceanographers claim will cause ocean acidification preventing many planktons and corals from growing.
Plankton and coral are at the base of the ocean's food chain. Duhh???

OH MY GOD!
co2 levels increased 2.3 parts per million last year.
that's, lets see, carry the 2,add3,  that's, god help us, .00000023%
that does it, no more light bulbs for me.
