Shocker:GISS... rapid warming in recent decades has been driven mainly by non-CO2 greenhouse gases”

Taco Bell, bean burritos, methane, OH NOES. And conversion of cattle to double cheeseburgers.

The paper was from 2000.

Was the warming rapid in the decades before 2000?

Weren't those the decades that Hanson played hide and seek with the numbers?

  No surprise that there is no link to the paper from Hansen’s own site, but I got to wondering, what about the co-authors? I followed up on a single one, Makiko Sato. Sure enough, in her list of publications, that paper is listed. So, I skimmed the abstracts from the other papers she has listed (as co-author with Hansen) and came up with this gem of a quote from another paper in 1998:

  “the index indicates that climate change should be apparent already, but in most places climate trends are too small too stand out above year-to-year variability. The climate index is strongly correlated with global surface temperature, which has increased as rapidly as projected by climate modelers in the 1980s. We argue that the global area with obvious global change will increase notably in the next few years.”

  Wow. So, in 1998 they could NOT detect climate change over most of the earth, but predicted that this would change “notably in the next few years”. Except it hasn’t. The temperature trend over the glove since 1998 has been about zero.

  The number of predictions made by the alarmists, in writing, that the march of time has falsified, is staggering.

Double post from system troubles,.....time outs and proxy errors.

Not quite what I was looking for...but this comment is in the area.....something is sure as hell going on....that CARB webcast had some causitive action behind it....

The article may be the scientific foundation for “Climate and Clean Air Coalition” CCAC
This may be the long needed escape way for governments to get away from CO2 focus.
They may then focus on something more agreeable than CO2

Just wait until it gets really hot along about the middle of August.

From the main article:
"Now for the other shocker. This paper was published in the year 2000. So what happened to Hansen since then? He’s totally lost the plot from then, which from my perspective, seems reasonable, and one I could get behind."

IMO, Hansen over the years has been a tool for those that seek world domination and population control.

They’re just not going to give up are they? If CO2 is roundly debunked (and it has been) then on to something else. The good news is that’s a desperation game and it will be very hard to keep anyone but the diehard eco-nut on board.

Radon : a chemical element with the atomic number 86, and is represented by the symbol Rn. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium or thorium. Its most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of 3.8 days.

Ain't nothing humans or the environmentalist can do about it, it happens naturally.

Their problem is that they don't have any climate change with which to correlate.

Hanson is a circus clown. How much tax payer money have governments dumped as a result of this chicken little watermelon game?

Someone tell Mittens. He’s a dippy warmist.
