Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

After another decade of no warming, now he thinks the climate is falling apart.
Where’s the hoickey stick? Where’s the beef?
The hockey stick is up Hansen’s ass.
Who the fuck is Hansen? how do I tear him a new one?
In 1999 Hansen hadn’t yet tampered with the evidence. Once he discovered he could alter evidence without consequence he realized it would be getting much warmer after 1999. :*)

In comes TonyD to tell you that quote is suspicious and something Hansen wouldn’t say. Those notes were tampered with, they were probably at some point in time in Sandy Burger’s pants…
