HAHAHAHA !!! I have been saying that Global Warming was bunk since the first time I heard about it on the basis that the Planet was not that sensitive to greenhouse gasses, now the Scientiss agree.

[JZoback]

Words probably cannot describe my glee watching the "foaming at the mouth eco-wackos" reaction to this brave man.

Mini-Editorial:

Folks, all of us, when lauding, promoting, or referring to Free Republic to lurkers or browsers or the curious, ought to make a point of showing them- perhaps by emailing the link to it- the bump list.

With the admonition, "See how much you have not been told about? Now think of what you may have missed, because it simply was not talked about...."

Global warming is a reality. So is global cooling. The earth has been warming and cooling ever since there was an earth and there is not a darn thing we can do about it.

Mr. Bush led the world by being the first to walk away from Kyoto, and science has proven him correct.

Which means that air head Algore was totally wrong and wanted to spend $trillion& of dollars to change the weather. Lets all be thankful gore did not succeed in stealing the presidency from Bush.

Is there a correlation between the heat given off by humans and the average temperature of the atmosphere around big cities?

In 2050, the biomass of all humans will be greater than the biomass of all humans in 2002, and thus so should the average temperature of the air increase.

All we need is to test the idea. The number-crunching can then begin.

Big bump for this one. Read it and weep DU lurkers!!

[Senator_Blutarski]

"Where are the reporters?"

Silly question. There are Republicans and conservatives to be smeared, Christians to be demonized, abortionists to be supported, gays to be glorified, victims to be created. Who has time for this story any more?

[Kermit]

Kyoto was never about Global Warming. The propaganda about Global Warming was simply the tool to gain power. Europe wanted Kyoto, because it would not affect them much, but would slow down the United States. Enron wanted Kyoto, because it would force people to buy their product. Now, Bono, is Enron a good guy for supporting Kyoto or just another corporate m-f'er? That from the King of Corporate Bands...putz!

[Ditter]

Thank Goodness the Gulf Coast summers are hot enough now.

[Chemist_Geek]

Where are the reporters? Somewhere between Enron and September 11, you would think that the death of global warming would merit a feature or two - unless, of course, it's the kind of news that they don't want you to hear.

Is there a bibliography available? I mean, nothing is more fun than an afternoon in the Science Library reading journals, but before I dig into PNAS I'd like to know where...(grin)

[Solid Oak]

Conservatives have to learn that it is not enough to counter the junk science of environmental soicalists; we have to openly and aggressively attack the MOTIVES behind the frauds. The motives: socialists have successfully used global warming and other scare tactics (e.g. acid rain) to attack the pillers of capitalism (business and private property)and freedom (government regulations). Funny, I missed the TV news coverage of this important story.

[set the record straight]

About time!!

Looks to me like NASA and Hansen saw that they weren't going to get their "Global Warming Windfall," and so decided to tell the truth and rescue their objectivity.

[Yougottabekidding]

NASA knows how to predict an election better than a weather pattern.

[Ben Ficklin]

Although this article is 100% accurate on Hansen's assessment in regard to CO2, it is imcomplete in that it doesn't mention his opinion on other emitted gases.

He does call for the regulation and reduction of emissions of: methane which is a greenhouse gas and for those smog producers such as NOx and VOC. Whereas there is no political or scientific consensus on CO2/warming, there is no disagreement on smog/ozone as a problem.

Hansen has written that any global political/economic consequences faced by Bush/US for rejecting CO2 regulation would be offset by regulating smog producing compounds. Hansen refers to this as "taking the high ground away from Europe".

It is important to note actions being taken by individual states on CO2. There are several and where else but the west coast and the northeast. Most recently California has indicated that they will attempt to regulate tailpipe CO2 while Texas, on the other hand, has rejected even doing a CO2 inventory and will concentrate on NOx, VOC, CFC, etc.

Virtually the same thing happened last year with regard to Amazon deforestation. One of the prominent voices of doom and gloom retracted his previous, irresponsible forecasts.

Thanks, CW, I'll be sure and distribute this article to my students who are doing research in the area.

[Jhoffa_]

This is funny..

I caught one of those old "In Search Of" episodes on the history channel the other day, you know the ones with Mr. Spock?

Anyway, the focus was how we were surely headed back into another Ice Age and therefore we were ALL DOOMED!

And big ears had a bunch of credible (?) scientists on to back up this theory, of course.

All I could think was if that were a modern episode the focus would be how were were all sure to burn to death from Global Warming caused by our charcoal grills and SUV's..

[Amelia]

Thanks so much for posting this! It fits right in with what I'm teaching right now - guess what a group of "gubmint school" students will be learning next week, instead of the "global warming doom & gloom" stuff in their textbook? :)

[The Great RJ]

The enviro-whackos will just come up with some new calamity. Remember in the 1970's it was global cooling and nuclear winter that was going to kill us all by the year 2000 and before that the "Club of Rome" group predicted that we would all starve because of over population.
