HAHAHAHAHA: "An influential group of scientists led by James Hansen, the former NASA scientist" ... who was fired for lying and, um extremism in the face of facts. Hysterical. He's wrong. Here's why: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Phanerozoic_Carbon_Dioxide.png Now, here's how: Here's an example of his particular brand of nonsense. This one is my favorite. Remember when the Greenland ice sheet melted? Doom and gloom right? All that ice just gone and Greenland was a sea all of a sudden? Well no, there was an inch of water on top for a week or two then it froze. Here's Hansen's "spin" in a Nasa communique: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/greenland-melt.html "Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt - 07.24.12" Sounds terrible, right? It's true, but it's not what you think it means. Look at the money quote at the bottom: "Ice cores from Summit show that melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average. With the last one happening in 1889, this event is right on time," says Lora Koenig, a Goddard glaciologist and a member of the research team analyzing the satellite data." So 1) it's perfectly normal it does this and 2) it does this every 150 years. We didn't have satellites 150 years ago, so it's unprecedented that satellites have seen this perfectly natural and on-time event. The implication the melt is unprecedented is the kind of misinformation for commercial gain that got him fired. Now think about this carefully - in a warming world what happens to a 150 year melt cycle. Would it be early, on time exactly or late? If it's on time exactly this implies there's noting unusual in this 150 year cycle compared to the others. In a truly warming world it would be years - or at least one day, late. Now, why is he saying this, and what he he saying? "CO2 is higher than in dinosaur times". This is in response to the recent report that CO2 has not risen for a second year in a row.
