Once again the great people's scientist Trofim......I mean James Hansen speaks to the people.

This guy knows about as much about climate as Paul Krugman knows about economics.

Hey now. Give Dr. Hansen credit. He at least knows how to read a thermometer.....and then adjust it.

Mr. Krugman hasn't a clue about much of anything, and I don't think he knows how to read a temperature.......and certainly not economic signals.

Sig,

Are you sure he knows how to read a thermometer. He's an astronomer not a climatologist.

[sigurdur]

Ok.....he thinks he knows how to read a thermometer.

Oksana Lysenko, the Lysenko of our time:

[hankslincoln]

She can warm my climate anytime!

[hankslincoln]

Don't you think that calling him the "Godfather" is so appropriate. I wonder how many congressman he has made an offer to that they couldn't refuse??

You know. "I will promote global warming so that you can regulate everything humans do in this country and the world. All I want is millions and millions of grant money and then I will scare the crap out of everyone"

Thanks hanklincoln:
Any fool knows that Hansen's present paper is opinion based on mythical facts that under scrutiny do not survive.

The hope of a lot of folks is that people continue to be dumb.......

No thank you.

Climate pseudo science is now infecting Health care.

Note this comment in the article below on the lethal dangers (as bad as smoking) of eating egg yolks:

"Each patient had already experienced a small stroke or had high blood pressure, hypertension or a family history of cardiovascular disease. Spence says researchers chose to use patients with a higher likelihood of cardiovascular issues because it would have been harder to get visible results using the general population with a lower risk."

thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/15/is-eating-egg-yolks-as-bad-as-smoking/?hpt=hp_c2

This so scares me. Some doctors (who didn't understand what they were taught in their stats course about random sampling in populations) will actual buy this.

It also scares my dog, who gets the whites that I cut away from the yummy tasting yolk. Course he would love the yolks just as much as the whites, but he isn't going to get them anyway.

Climate FAIL: GISS is presenting 2012 US temperature as ‘off the chart’, while preventing older data from being archived
wattsupwiththat.com/2012/08/21/climate-fail-giss-is-presenting-2012-us-temperature-as-off-the-chart-while-preventing-older-data-from-being-archived/

Is that what transparent honest scientists do?

magellan:
Naw.....that is what folks who are trying to prove a point do.

The US temp record seems to be getting screwier as time goes on.

These people just have never seen a high temperature that they didn't like, even though high temperatures mean large gran...I mean the end of the world.

clearly there is a high temperature we would not want.

I would say that temperature would occur somewhere around where the human population of the world was greater above the polar circles than in an equivalent area of land band on either side of the equator.

But that would not be a hard line as clearly there is some wiggle room today as a lot more people are living adjacent to the equator. . . .so maybe too much would be when the population flips and the current equator population becomes polar population numbers and current polar population numbers become equator population numbers.

In other words when it gets too warm people will make it clear to you with their feet. I would have to guess you wrote the above missive in some air conditioned room somewhere and have no clue about what people think.

p.s. The big CAGW play would be northern real estate.

Look at how stable the Canadian economy has become. Perfect example.

Last time I checked most people were still voting with their feet and moving to warm climates like Florida and Arizona, despite Andrew, Katrina and wildfires. I grew up in Northern Illinois with -20 temps in the winter. Nothing like 20 below to get you to "think" about moving south.

I'd look for land in FL and skip the "deals" in Duluth.

As a reminder for those who have short memories, let's review some of the kooky things James Hansen predicted before he referred to those who disagreed with him as climate criminals.

This is also for Hansen apologists.
