“How far can it go? The last time the world was three degrees warmer than
today – which is what we expect later this century – sea levels were 25m
higher.”
This is the world’s greatest climatologist speaking. Yuma, Arizona will be underwater. You can expect to see sea level rise more than one metre every four years. Plan on one foot of sea level rise every year, or about one inch per month.
(Never mind that sea level hasn’t risen an inch in California during the past century.)
You know…..
This works for all the potato heads in school or in cities where they don’t get out much.
We’ve been living on this same rock, out in the Caribbean, for 6 decades…..
The water level is exactly the same….
Of course he blew the whole unprecidented in history thing…
If this was going to happen, wouldn’t sea levels already be rapidly rising?
Andy, at the rate temperatures are increasing, not a one of us will live long enough to see anything……….
Antarctica will continue to cool, and then the WAIS will collapse due to the extra coldwarm.
lol
For a minute there I thought you were referring to the WAIS meaning Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. But then I realized that collapsed among climate scientists years ago.
Going out to buy a pair of floaties right now! How come people don’t point and laugh at him every time he opens his mouth?
Are you talking about Obama?
It’s hard to laugh when you’re stunned……..
Well, Hansen, but Obama would be seen as equally comical……. if it weren’t for his position. Instead, like Lat said, I’m usually simply stunned at his lack of depth and competence, and total lack of understanding the people he’s suppose to be leading.
I asked this on Anthony’s blog, but hasn’t been posted yet.
How does someone figure this one out?
“Global warming is supposed to make temperatures increase, right along with CO2 levels.
Since, for the past decade, temperatures have flat lined and gone down a little, when things get back to “global warming normal”, can we expect a huge jump in temperatures?
If not, how will global warming normal make up the difference?”
Lat:
It depends on “Who” you ask!
There is the Team belief that thinks any delayed warming will step to the next level when this plateau is passed and we will see a spike similar to an El Nino with no La Nina to follow.
There are those that think the temperatures will slowly rise and the plateau was just a minor delay and you just need to move the graph over to the end of the flat line.
Then there is the group that says this is the start of a period similar to the 40s and we will have a cooling until sometime in the 30s which will lead to resuming our current temperature around 2060 when it will again begin cooling on schedule. That would mean in 2100 chances are the global temperature will be not statistically different from any that have been experienced over the last 200 years.
That is the warming and luke warming side of the story as I have heard it.
IT’S ABOUT TIME……

Wow, from Maine, no less. What would really impress me is if they’d rid us of Snowe.
It is about time!
I just love that to death.
Thanks MIke, needless to say that didn’t make it into the lamestream media. ROFL
Some day people may laugh at the name James Hansen.
The grandchildren this fraud is so concerned about will change their name by deed-pol to avoid ignominy.
“Gaia Hanson, any relation to the nutcase from earlier in the century?’
“No no, ours is spelled Hansen, his was Hanson.”
He didn’t sing Mmmmbop either.
Hanson has lost it.
His of the scale opinions and claims devastate the AGW front.
People know when they deal with a nut no matter the job.
Hanson is one of the best things that happened to the Skeptics.
Please continue your predictions.
When making outrageous predictions like this, it only undermines their religion when they do not materialize.
And it is also good to remind them they said it all the time.
