Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate
Published: June 24, 1988
Until now, scientists have been cautious about attributing rising global temperatures of recent years to the predicted global warming caused by pollutants in the atmosphere, known as the ”greenhouse effect.” But today Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration told a Congressional committee that it was 99 percent certain that the warming trend was not a natural variation but was caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other artificial gases in the atmosphere.
If the current pace of the buildup of these gases continues, the effect is likely to be a warming of 3 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit from the year 2025 to 2050, according to these projections. This rise in temperature is not expected to be uniform around the globe but to be greater in the higher latitudes, reaching as much as 20 degrees, and lower at the Equator.

I can see the refreezing.
June 24, 1988 – A date that will live in infamy for climatology. A date when the political active and the well connected left-wing launched their attack on right-minded and prosperous US citizens, with outrageous alarm and plans to castrate US industry.
12 years later Hansen didn’t think co2 was the main cause of the warming.
Then 3 years later he thought that soot was causing most of the warming.
Over the past decade he is now certain it’s co2 thought he’s now baffled by the temperature hiatus.
Here’s a story on the 4 Arctic “rowers” from today, who quit half way across the NWP. They and the media spun the story to say they had lots of opinion and recollection of recent warm “climate change” despite the fact that they were frozen out. They also saw beavers and grizzlies as proof – of something. What crap.
