Hansen has been talking about catastrophic warming, hottest year ever, multi-metre sea level rise, death trains, extinction, end of the world as we know it…….etc.
Yet, but his own measures temperatures are below scenario C – which he considers safe. How can the climate be both catastrophic and safe at the same time?
Caution! The graph above was generated before Hansen’s December, 2012 data tampering – which increased historical warming by more than a tenth of a degree.
Climate is never safe. There are always weather disasters taking place somewhere and always have been.
And always will be…
Amen.

“Global warming predictions prove accurate”
2 graphs seemingly with very simalar data.
Presentation would appear to be everything
Whose global temperature data are they using? I see no pause in the warming.
This study used 10 year averaging of data for a prediction of 15 years. That makes no sense to me.
Haven’t looked at the paper but I suspect if you start your trend at the bottom of a La Nina and end at the top of an El Nino you’ll easily squeeze 0.2C of natural global temperature change out of the data. The trick works once, anyway.
This is one of your most important posts. It is an excellent, simple example of using Hansen’s own dead-certain arguments to crush his other dead-certain arguments.
Bravo!
Yes Steven, Bravo. Keep rubbing Hansen’s nose in his own charts.
It’s catastrophically safe!
Delusional minds have no problem with this concept.
Definition of Insanity:
1. The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness
2. Extreme foolishness or irrationality
Either way, Hansen has a serious problem.
But he can’t get locked up for being number 2.
