"We have only four years left." ___ James Hanson, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, a division of NASA. Predicted in 2009.

An ignorant chap who read that could be led to believe that the actual end of the world was at stake. What Hanson was saying was the tipping point of being able to keep rising temps within a 1ºC rise over a certain time frame was at stake.

One must be wary about how info is presented.

Hmmm, what to do?  I think I’ll go with the opposite of whatever Frank says.

Very easy to deform truth indeed...

This was not false doom prediction, this is an urgent invitation to act after his own reading analysis models conclusion and to act at the right times window, being right scientifically speaking or being wrong is always a possibility and a chapter in science history; but not urging to act in your soul and spirit when you think so is criminal...

Then cititation out of the context of this model analysis window that urge humans to act, interpretating that like a doom prediction only, and after that suggesting that this prediction is patently false because we are all here, this is bordering on fraud practice at worst, stupid political propaganda at best...I dont know what your profession is but like mine it is not science...

This guy is not an angel nor Einstein and many serious people criticize his exaggerated interpretation but it is no excuse for you( not a climate scientist or are you one of his peer?) to reduce him to be a total fraud by linking his urge to act to doom prophecy only...


Balance of views on many levels is the culprit of thinking process...

I apologize for a second times I think to nonoise that say the same thing shorter and better than me before me, I confess to have many human defects...:)

millercarbon, I totally agree with you but you could put it in a nicer way.

One of the pre-requisites for radiologic technologist is microbiology. Its a lot more detailed than it used to be. Everything is mapped out step by step right down to the atom.

Photosynthesis, at one point it becomes painstakingly obviously in your face, clear and plain, if there isn't enough CO2 there isn't any photosynthesis. Which was a shock, having been told for years how bad CO2 is, to see so starkly black and white plants absolutely will die without it. 

So just to be clear I stick up my hand and say, "So CO2 is a limiting factor in plant growth?" Which clearly it is. The answer is yes.

That's not what I got. What I got instead was a five minute diatribe that started, "This is what republicans say when they want you to think we can all drive SUVs and burn" blah blah yada yada for like 5 minutes. At the end of which he says, finally, "Yes."

This was 15 years ago. Until then it was pretty easy to fall for the warmist narrative, even though by then the narrative had already been falsified by the mere passage of time, it being a good 10 years past the point we were told all the green Doug fir in Western Washington would be dead from forest fires. But let's just go with 15 years. That's a long time to be lied to, and know you're being lied to, and to have to suck it up and endure sanctimonious lectures from a guy you are actually paying to educate- not indoctrinate. Educate. 

Which is bad enough all by itself. But the lies are all being used to steal my money, and time, and make everyone's lives worse not better. Then on top of that they all preach and carry on with their sanctimonious we're the good people act when in reality they're Pod people, Stepford wives, Children of the Corn, Zombies.

So, do I go off on them? Yes. Yes I do. Would I be better off being nice? Not so sure about that. For sure they do not deserve it. Nice is how you treat immature little kids who can't be expected to know any better.

What's their excuse?
