Throughout his career, James Hansen has demonstrated an uncanny ability to be wrong nearly 100% of the time about both the future and the past.
Dr. James E. Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who presented recent data compiled from computer models, said that predicted regional effects of global warming show that the chances of summer drought in the low and middle latitudes would be 1 in 3 by the year 2030, as against 1 in 20 in the 1950’s.
