"Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as "synfuels," shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration."

“and energy sources such as “synfuels,” shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration.”
In other words, energies Hansen’s masters were NOT invested in.
