These are not the words of a scientist but the ravings of an extremist, defaming those who dare disagree with his very dubious hyperbolic fearmongering..
“The danger is that delay will cause tipping points to be passed, such that large climate impacts become inevitable, including the loss of all Arctic sea ice, destabilization of the West Antarctic ice sheet with disastrous sea level rise later this century” .... This is unadulterated BS. there is no ‘tipping point’ in CO2, in fact CO2 impact get diminished at higher levels; in fact, there is no scientific justification for the ‘runaway’ scenario he paints.
Yes, lets see his algorithmic adjustments to the temperature data that helps make the model fit the conclusion.

Hansen is not telling the whole story about this "innocent error".
There were more changes introduced by this "error" than just the post-2000 ones. All of these "errors" were favourable to the AGW cause.
The changes made the post-2000 cooling period look warmer, they smoothed out the cooling of the 1970s, they bumped 1998's temp UP not down, they made the biggest reduction in temps to the other warm years such as 1934, 1937, 1921 and 1953. These years (and 1931 as well which wasn't adjusted by as much) were the other contenders for the record warm year along with 1998.
Awfully convienent "errors".

Gotta be the longest translation of "fake but accurate" I've seen yet.
If this guy's graded by word-count, he wins.

Here is a chart showing how much the National Climate Data Centre (NCDC) adjusts the raw temperature data.
The NCDC is the depository for all climate records from around the planet.
Up to 1999, they had already adjusted the data upwards from the raw temperature records by 0.55C. The increase in global temperatures as of 1999 was only 0.6C so you make your own conclusions.
Of course, Hansen and GISS then take these numbers and adjust them even more. There have also been adjustments made after 1999 which is not charted so nicely and released to the public.

Where exactly did they get the gobal temperatures in 1921 and 1934? The ocean temperatures were sampled from...? How many global sample sites and how many readings in 1921 and 1934?

The contrarians will be remembered as court jesters. There is no point to joust with court jesters. They will always be present. They will continue to entertain even if the Titanic begins to take on water. Their role and consequence is only as a diversion from what is important. Arrogant bastard. Am I paying his salary? Why?
