More propaganda from the Globes leading data manipulator.
Hansen is another “scientist” in the mold of Paul Ehrlich. A declinist who sees humanity as the problem, and big government socialism as the solution.
That old scam. We need to fired Hansen.
I had no idea Hansen was still at it ...

MMMBop
wow, who knew we would become like gods so soon? able to control the earth !!
now, if i could just get my toilet to flush with a single pull, then life would be complete.
Uh huh. Can Mr. Hansen tell us if it will rain tomorrow?
"Hey Hanson, the house isn't on fire."
"Uh, well, it's POISED to catch on fire, what with all that wood and those drapes and, and... just look at that newspaper. So... live in the backyard and tear down the house, because you never be too careful."
What that means is the last Glacial Period was probably so much colder than those that preceded it that the oceans cooled down enough to retard the sort of increase in evaporation we would normally have had.
That would, in turn, delay a return to the normal Glacial Period.
Our planet has been in the grip of an Ice Age for the last 2.5 million years. The 20 or so cycles reflected in the Antarctic Ice Sheet reveals that the trend has been colder and colder.
In short, we are in a sort of "drought". Interesting that Hansen did say we were about 1 degree C short of the temperature achieved in the last interglacial (the 10,000 year long warm period between each 100,000 year long period of glaciation).
Today's massive ice storm beating down on Greenland (check your Intellicast.com global infrared map) may well TIP us over to more ice formation, with less warming ~ and a return to a normal condition.
So what? Interesting how this “problem” screams for a totalitarian solution, to be administered by a strong centralized central planning-style government that can control *everything* down to the lightbulbs in my living room.
And for extra fun, the population needs to be highly immobilized, only to be transported enmass, on methods requiring contact with state security.
But this is the totalitarian future Hansen dreams of. For now, ill be happy to see NASA utterly disbanded and defunded. If they have a dime to pay this A-hole, they apparently have too much money already.
Kohler has a pot for you.
"Humans have overwhelmed the natural, slow changes that occur on geologic timescales"
However, Humans Evolved on Earth and Earth is an ever changing dynamic system...
So for Millions of years the planet only evolved animals that have minimal impact on the biosphere, but then it decided to increase brain size rather than claw and teeth size.
So if we are a product of Earth, then the Eath itself is causing these changes....
Stop Hitting Yourself!!!
So Libs can use relativistic morality to justify just about any sort of human behavior except mining and manufacturing?
So unless it is space aliens spewing CO2, the Earth is just hurting itself Mr. Hansen.

Never mind all this, what about NASA’s Muslim outreach? That’s far more important.
[ Hansen is another scientist in the mold of Paul Ehrlich. A declinist who sees humanity as the problem, and big government socialism as the solution. ]
If Humanity is the problem then why DID THE EARTH EVOLVE THEM?
I Wanna see either of those bozoes answer that one.

John Shade says:
There is the possibility here of a new bootstrap event. According to this post Real Science (http://www.real-science.com/understanding-man-global-warming) In the year 2000, Hansen and his buddies decided to give underachieving global warming a boost by adding 0.6 degrees on to the disappointing US data set. So perhaps the above claim of a rise of 0.8C thanks to his work at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies is a bit of an exaggeration. In either case, the bootstrap event whereby an observer gets extremely distressed by the data he has just created is worthy of further study.
And thinly veiled in the message, man is the problem, so fewer men is the solution.
Centralized government is the most efficient means to fewer men. Hundreds of millions of fewer men. Billions of fewer men.
***Humans have overwhelmed the natural, slow changes that occur on geologic timescales, Hansen said.***
God asked: “Who is this Hansen, and how did I miss giving him a brain?”
