In a paper published by Columbia University, celebrity climate change activist and academic James Hansen has revealed predictions of a 5 meter sea level rise by 2100.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Is James Hansen mentioned in Haliburton microfilm?
;O)
Wait, did they make that up? Did Hansen weasel word his way to not really saying what was quoted? Tony? What’s it say in the Hansen gospel? You know, the Reiss book, not the apocrypha, the Reiss Salon interview.
I actually skimmed through the paper, and found the offending graph : Hansen is indeed predicting a 5 metre rise in sea level by 2100.
Don’t go thinking you can falsify his prediction by pointing out that sea level rise in 2011 is nowhere near the rate required to justify this prediction, though.
Rather cutely, Hansen’s graph shows very little rise in sea level before 2060, at which point it is shown as taking off exponentially, with 4 of the 5 metre increase occurring between 2080 and 2100.
As appealing as the prospect of living to the ripe old age of 140 and watching Jim’s prediction crash and burn is, I fear that I will have to pass………
When defending himself against his bogus 1988 forecasts, Hansen claims that the effects of CO2 are logarithmic – so scenario B is the correct one. But when making sea level forecasts, he claims the opposite – that the effects of CO2 are exponential. Is he deluded, or is he dishonest?
I’d say it’s both, and on many occasions
Hansen is suffering from the Messiah complex.

Hansen’s scientific objectivity has to be called into question. He is an activist against carbon dioxide producing coal. He has been arrested several times for breaking the law. How can any person have confidence in any of his papers, predictions, projections or scenarios?

Hansen compared coal trains to death trains headed to crematoria. That sounds more like delusion than dishonesty, but maybe there’s some of each.
Hansen is a politician masquerading as a scientist.
Spinning the “facts” to promote their view of the world is what politicians do.
The science is so ro-BUST how can anyone deny it?
I agree with Hansen. Pretty much every month the tides near me go from 0 to 15 feet – about 5 meters.
Jimbo turned 70 years of age about a month after me, so it’s doubtful if that either of us will live long enough to see many more of his predictions go wrong.
I keep checking West Side Highway, NY on google Earth, just to make sure it’s not yet underwater, so far so good.
