...study scientists are faced with difficult choices between communication of scientific information to the public and focus on basic research, as there are inherent compromises in any specific balance. Former American Vice President Al Gore, at a plenary session of the December 2006 meeting of the American Geophysical Union, challenged earth scientists to become involved in informing the public about global climate change. The overwhelmingly positive audience reaction to his remarks provides hope that the large gap between scientific understanding and public knowledge about climate change may yet be closed.
Please close the large gap between scientific understanding and Gore's Inconvenient Truth. Albert Gore is a politician.
Jester Hansen, haved you read the book “The King’s New Clothes? Look around you. Look at the “real scientists’” work. Now look at your “work”. See the difference? Others work is peer reviewed. Other work doesnt come with caveats of name calling and such. Others’ work isnt politically charged with doomsday predictions, mostly just the facts.
The significance of 4 of the 10 warmest yrs now being in the 1930’s vs the 2000’s, appears to escape you. The earth’s temp was warmer than than now, (not by much, granted) but what were the CO2 levels like at that very early industrial stage? What? Not as high as in 2007? Duh. Why is the worlds temps holding firm (slightly declining since 1988)? I bet it is al gores carbon credit offsets right? The ones he buys from a company he owns.
The well documented US temperature stations are all over the news. Even my 3rd grade science teacher knew better than to take temperatures a few feet from trash barrels, a/c units, and black tar pavement.
