James Hansen wishes he was wrong. He wasn't.
NASA's top climate scientist in 1988, Hansen warned the world on a record hot June day 30 years ago that global warming was here and worsening. In a scientific study that came out a couple months later, he even forecast how warm it would get, depending on emissions of heat-trapping gases.
The hotter world that Hansen envisioned in 1988 has pretty much come true so far, more or less. Three decades later, most climate scientists interviewed rave about the accuracy of Hansen's predictions given the technology of the time.
Hansen won't say, "I told you so."
"I don't want to be right in that sense," Hansen told The Associated Press, in an interview is his New York penthouse apartment. That's because being right means the world is warming at an unprecedented pace and ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland are melting.
Hansen said what he really wishes happened is "that the warning be heeded and actions be taken."
They weren't. Hansen, now 77, regrets not being "able to make this story clear enough for the public."

In the meantime, for the last several years I’m running my furnace in June, something I’ve never had to do before. When is this global warming going to come my way?
He’s completely wrong on the subject, according to virtually all data, and I think he knows it.
I’m glad he’s wrong. It’s all good.
Sorry, but you are the one producing hot air....
sorry 10 years out of touch.
the global warming hoax was so obvious that all the leftards mouthpieces now use the phrase ‘climate change’ for their new lies.

In Fantasy Land!
The 80+ year cooling trend continues to this day unabated.

Ocean levels are falling, and have been for a long time.
The solid proof is in the USC&G benchmark adjustments that were performed every 5 years until they realized that it disproved their scam.
Now they use a fake datum that they can tweek at will instead of “Sea Level.”
