Storms of My Grandchildren

Posted By Dave Snope
I nominate Hansen for the title of "Emoscientist of the Decade". I feel a bit sorry for the guy. He so often sounds like a paranoid bipolar, full of conspiracy theories such as how The Bush was trying to silence him during a time when he was the most outspoken and quoted climate scientist in the world, then calling for oil executives to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity. Hansen is a victim of government oppression, no wait, he's a 1984-style dictator, he is shy, no wait, he's a screaming protester, he is sad, no wait, he is angry...

This probably explains why the newspapers love him so much. Never a dull moment.

Is global warming overestimated?

Posted By Dave Snope
That's some good dry, logical, mathematical analysis. But it is not nearly as interesting as Dr. Hansen's paranoid depressed emissions so you won't be reading about it in the NYT or LAT.

More Climate Data On The Way

Posted By Dave Snope
More data on the Sun, sea salinity, and aerosols should be valuable. There's more than that going up, of course. I've got gear going into future programs that will survey foliage and measure ice thickness. Probably other stuff, too. The euros have space sensors going up, too. There's lots of money in space these days.

It's rather cool, lately.

That's a long time, so here is the detail on just the last 5 million years:



Looking at those 100,000 year rapid glacial cycles on this scale makes them look frantic.

Haiti and Glover

Posted By Dave Snope
Danny's an ardent supporter of Hugo Chavez and together they manage to blame all the world's problems on the USA.

Just like Dr. James Hansen, he regularly claimed that Bush was censoring him ... every time he got in front of a microphone. They both got more mike-time than the Prez.

Accepting the “Chairman's Awards” during the NAACP Image Awards broadcast on Fox, actor Danny Glover asserted:

“How we assume our responsibility as concerned, informed citizens, to question, [to] dissent, to speak truth in times when fear and the call to nationalism and patriotism are used as barriers to quiet us and detain us (applause) will determine how we [are] remembered.”

Terrorism is our fault, just like global warming is:
"We must work to remove injustices that create terrorism," he said.

"A nation that continues, year after year, to spend more money on defense than social programs is nearing spiritual death," he said.

Eco-TERRORISM US-STYLE

Posted By Dave Snope
Thanks, it's been so long since we've heard a deranged quote from Cindy Sheehan. That sure set the tone for your link.

New Scientist: Oops, glaciers won’t melt by 2035

Posted By Dave Snope
Attempts by Hindustan Times to reach Hasnain failed. His family said he was away and there was no telephone number at which he could be contacted.

Pachauri said IPCC would issue a statement on the glaciers “by the middle of this week”.

I knew this wouldn't take long

Not to mention all of the claims the global warming is the cause of the poor snow levels for the Winter Olympics. Just ask any long-suffering Whistler skier about that stupid claim.


Pielke, Sr. has dissected the claims made in that TIME article here:

Fjords Contribute to Melting of Glaciers

Posted By Dave Snope

I wonder if we have any Greenland sea temp data from the 1920's to 1940's. We have air temperature data which shows that it was warmer then than now. And, anecdotally at least, the ice has increased since WWII, but what about the decades before that? It would be educational to know the relative sea and air temps over that warming period relative to what the glacier extents were.
