Only a pin-head would dismiss Hansen's presentation as worthless. He represents the scientific consensus...with the exception of his criticism of the IPCC, on its tardiness in including data on ice-melt into its ocean rise scenario. As I understand it, the science for this is very soon to become settled. When is such science adequate for governments to meaningfully act? I hope soon.

He was right then, and he is right now. Even dubya has caved on this issue. Even the most ignorant "get it" eventually.

Scientists expect a Grand Solar Minimum, All oceans are cooling. Global cooling is commencing. Nature has not been listening. The troposphere today is 0.63 degees celcius cooler than this day last year. Has he heard of the biosphere? co2 will not stay in the atmosphere forever . The process of photosynthesis will assimilate co2...

@USAneedsaChange Your post added nothing...

@Slave2Reason you should not say anything more... just zip

Hansen is a climate change kook... He should be fired! ClimateGate & SateliteGate have exposed this fraud! Only dolts and cultists believe this crap anymore!

@followthefleet Actually, only a charlatan who doesnt understand that ALL planets in our solar ring are warming up (As per NASA themselves) would sit here passing judgement on those who understand that "global warming" is A COMPLETE HOAX CREATED TO ESTABLISH ANOTHER LINE OF GOVERNMENT REVENUE IN THE FORM OF FRAUDULENT CARBON TAXES.

You clearly understand nothing about Science nor the system of lobbyists who control the flow of quasi-information.

This is the way of ALL BRAINLESS SHEEPLE.

Lindzen and Svensmark both have reviewed papers showing this CO2 panic is just that. Once they are peer reviewed, you can't call them rejects, the science they put forward on the matter stands. It seems no matter what the evidence, the warmists want a cap and tax regime, it seems one cannot stop a political movement with science.

@bernzeppi

Did you at least google "CLOUD experiment"?

Looking at a cloud chamber in High school is a bit more primitive, without controls or measurements, than the experiments at CERN.

Besides, Lindzen did measure the incoming radiance and outgoing radiance.

He plotted outgoing vs. incoming. Guess what? When you fit a least square line on the data points, the line has a positive slope! ( the climate models assume a negative slope) It is impossible to have a runaway greenhouse situation.

@judomagyar

Rhetoric is not evidence of anything but your blinkered bias.

The CERN cloud experiments will prove nothing ( cloud experiments worked 100 years ago... cloud chambers, remember them? physics 101)

Anyhow, Svens cloud experiments cannot defeat the fact that there is no correlation with cosmic rays and temp & 50yrs science

Your champions are disgruntled rejects of peer review

But this is really about tax isn't it?

squeal!

don't take my money

squeeeal!

Greedy little piggy denier

Yea, that Markku Kulmala and his buddy Jasper Kirkby look like some lying idiots.

Why would they spend all that time and effort at CERN to run the CLOUD experiments? Al "the millions of degree earth core" Gore already told us that we are causing global warming and the only way to avoid frying everything is to give him and his banker buddies gazillions of dollars.

I think, we should wait until the CLOUD experiment results are in. But I know that, nothing will change your mind.
