Strange no one has bothered to actually go back and look at the predictions Hansen made in his 1988 testimony?

The last page of his prepared remarks had a historical time-series of global mean temperature through 1987, plus predictions for various scenarios through 2019.

Well, we have 20 more years of data now – how do his predictions look so far? Wildly wrong.

Check it out – all the data here:

It’s a tragedy that global warming skeptics need a tidal wave of evidence even to engage in a debate over humanity’s role in the climate crisis. Fortunately, we have contemporary heroes will to say what others are afraid even to think.

Thank you, Dr. Hansen and thank you, Environmental Leader for publishing this important piece!

If Hansen is right, there won’t be much point in trying the CEOs for crimes against humanity – we’ll all be struggling to survive.

James Hansen is a total nut. Thank God he isn’t in charge of anything of consequence. Professor Arkham is right there with him. I wonder what he plans to do with the 5-6 billion people he doesn’t have room for on the earth.

Here’s a solution. Continue researching alternate energy harvesting methods and work towards reducing the Earth’s human population to one billion; it can be done in one hundred years. Is there any reliable data on how much carbon each human uses on average? Re-forest the Earth’s forest population to at least 25% of what it used to be (The planet currently has only 5% of its original forests).
