NASA’s climate messiah bleeds.
What about NASA’s James Hansen putting out a report predicting global warming would decrease Antarctic ice by 40 percent?
Scambos said the new ice data is “a contradiction” to Hansen’s prediction, but he said Hansen’s assessment was done in the early 1980s.
“We would not be doing our job very well if we had not learned something in 30 years,” he said.
Does record Antarctic sea ice refute global warming? | Fact Checker
strikes me they havent learnt to shut the F up in 30 years.
after so many proven errors and outright crap model fails.
It is very telling that an EPA report published in 2004 or 2005 has used results from Hansen’s 1984 paper to highlight the accuracy of climate model predictions.
The only thing they’ve learned in 30 years is how to lie better. The fact that temperatures haven’t increased at all and are declining, thus debunking their C02 global warming fantasy, hasn’t even crossed their corrupt brains. That’s how ‘smart’ these guys are !
“Fact checker” my ass. “To get a better idea of what is true, I’ll ask someone who has a vested political interest in pushing one point of view. There, you see, the other side of the argument is bullshit, especially after we’ve clearly destroyed a strawman argument nobody was making.” What a joke.
NSIDC was probably told that by someone who misquoted Hansen, it happens all the time, so we are told. LMAO!
“We would not be doing our job very well if we had not learned something in 30 years,” he said.”
So we can now fire Hansen for incompetence?
Gator they aren’t learning to do that, my guess is they are learning how cover up the past bullshit and deliver new bullshit.
Maybe some of the Europeans have been questioning them too much lately?

That’s more investigation on the back of what Anthony Watts has been doing at WUWT.
We must not believe that antarctic sea ice increase is balancing arctic sea ice decline but to some extent it must be.I think that the increase in antarctic sea ice needs more investigation which will require more funding before we can rule out the possibility that this increase is not halting AGW.
Kid’s hand caught in cookie jar like a coconut monkey trap, 2 L8 2 B pardoned by President Eyecandy? Does not compute! Does not compute! Red button rescue.
In 30 more years they’ll learn they were still wrong.
“We would not be doing our job very well if we had not learned something in 30 years,” he said.
I wonder why the IPCC (among others) still cites Hansen’s work of 30 years ago if it’s wrong?
“…the new ice data is “a contradiction” to Hansen’s prediction, but he said Hansen’s assessment was done in the early 1980s.”
We’ve learned a thing or two as well in the last 30 years. When Hansen’s computer models contradict reality, the Team gives Hansen a pass (well, Hansen did make that prediction a looooong time ago). When a CAGW skeptic’s reality contradicts computer models, the Team gives the realist the boot (denier!!!).

Looks like the warmist mis-information machine is running fult tilt to explaining everything including common sense, logic and reasoning. The true hallmarks of climate-science, lacking all of em.

“What about the Antarctic?
The huge ice-covered land mass of Antarctica was always predicted to warm more slowly than the Arctic – there’s a long way to go before large amounts of bare ground are exposed in summer and begin to exert similar positive feedback. Also, because ozone acts as a greenhouse gas, the ozone hole that forms above Antarctica each spring is exerting a cooling effect.”
So basically since they predicted the melting of Antarctica would occur slower (probably because the average temperature is DUH much lower there)…..the record high ice extent is not relevant to the global warming issue. I think they all really dropped out of school before first grade because we learned in first grade that that entire argument makes zero sense…
Oh, yea evil humans and their evil ozone depleting chemicals got rid of a greenhouse gas for antarctica causing it to cool. That must be it! Blame all bad on humans even if there was an unintended positive effect which we do not talk about at all, and just badmouth the ozone hole as causing antarctica to cool.
