Recent heat waves that have triggered wildfires, droughts, and heat-related deaths in the United States and around the globe “almost certainly would not have occurred” without global warming—and will become more routine in coming years, NASA climate scientist James Hansen says.
Hansen and colleagues now say that such analogies are no longer adequate: The loading of the climate die is now complete, and the effects are plain to see.
Hansen’s remarks were greeted by record cold
“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

Many more cold records should be coming soon.
It’s as if lowering the bar on scientific integrity, results in an equally precipitous drop in temperature.
😆 It looks that way! I wonder what would happen if they were both in the same place at the same time.
Hansen’s buddies have just posted a weather forecast in the NYT – permanent drought!
