   The idea that any scientist would allow the press to characterize him as the world’s greatest climate scientist tells you something. Every scientist knows that the validity of his conclusions can be destroyed by the next data point.

   Well, he has 6 years. That’s when all the hidden heat becomes unhidden. If you’d like the mythical global temperature to increase a total of 6°, I’m sure we can arrange the appropriate measurements.

   You mean the scientist who lived during the Greatest Climate on earth, no? /sarc

   We could have green men from Mars take over earth by 2020. That has the same probability of happening as 6 degrees of warming. Hansen is a total crackpot.

   He succeeded in panicking Australia into a carbon tax.
   And this is what happens: Power prices go stratospheric and aluminium smelters close.
   Jobs disappear in smelters, power stations and coal mines.
   Thanks Julia. And thanks Jim Hansen. What a putz.

   Sam Langley was considered by many to be the greatest scientists of his day. He was awarded $70,000 by the US government to build the first powered aircraft, and was completely outdone by two bicycle mechanics working out of a shed.

     As I keep saying, I think it is time for tax payers to tell the politicians to De-fund science and Universities. Why should we pay for Propaganda and the Indoctrination of our young people? Why should we allow a self aggrandizing bureaucracy to determine who is funded and who is not? It is time for citizens to determine who their money is given to and cut out the parasitic middleman.

     … Surveys of corporations consistently find that businesses are focused outside • the U.S. to recruit necessary talent. … One respondent to the survey even noted, “If I wanted to recruit people who are both technically skilled and culturally aware, I wouldn’t even waste time looking for them on U.S. college campuses.”

   Apparently all those Hiroshima style nukes will be going off all at once 😉

   Hansen demonstrates moron science above.
   Here is an example of Real Science that will actually save lives.

   All Australian climate science funding should be redirected immediately to these scientists.

     Another example of Real Science. Again, these guys could benefit from 1% of the multi billions wasted by the “Climate Science” community. How about just the $2.4 million dollar cost of rescuing the morons in Antarctica being directed to them?

   THE HOCKEY SCHTICK has a graph and an article about the paper that Hansen must have used for his predictions. /snark

   A paper published in the journal of the Italian Astronomical Society finds that solar geomagnetic activity was highly correlated to global temperature changes over the period from 1856-2000. The authors “show that the index commonly used for quantifying long-term changes in solar activity, the sunspot number, accounts for only one part of solar activity and using this index leads to the underestimation of the role of solar activity in the global warming in the recent decades. A more suitable index is the geomagnetic activity which re?ects all solar activity, and it is highly correlated to global temperature variations in the whole period for which we have data.”

   The link to the paper is in the article.
