Hansen says that we must lower CO2 in order to prevent the climatic conditions which we had when CO2 was lower.

14 Feb 1945 – Britain Worried Over Australia’s Record Drought
For most of the 20th century, Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, was known for its boardwalk, amusement park, and wide, sandy beaches, popular with daytrippers from Washington, D.C. “The bathing beach has a frontage of three miles,” boasted a tourist brochure from about 1900, “and is equal, if not superior, to any beach on the Atlantic Coast.”
Today, on a cloudless spring afternoon, the resort town’s sweeping view of Chesapeake Bay is no less stunning. But there’s no longer any beach in Chesapeake Beach. Where there once was sand, water now laps against a seven-foot-high wall of boulders protecting a strip of pricey homes marked with “No Trespassing” signs.
Surveying the armored shoreline, Jim Titus explains how the natural sinking of the shoreline and slow but steady sea-level rise, mostly due to climate change, have driven the bay’s water more than a foot higher over the past century. Reinforcing the eroding shore with a sea wall held the water back, but it also choked off the natural supply of sand that had replenished the beach. What sand remained gradually sank beneath the rising water.

Complete BS. There was never any beach by the boardwalk, and the other beaches are still there. See old and recent pictures below.

EPA scientist warns Atlantic seaboard will be swallowed by rising seas

In summary – the land is rapidly sinking, the sea wall choked off the supply of sand, and there has been a slow, steady rise in sea level over the last 5,000 years – which has absolutely nothing to do with CO2.

(Reuters) – A record melt of Arctic summer sea ice this month may be a sign that global warming is reaching a critical trigger point that could accelerate the northern thaw, some scientists say.“The reason so much (of the Arctic ice) went suddenly is that it is hitting a tipping point that we have been warning about for the past few years,” James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told Reuters.

Sea level rise could sound the death knell for low-lying Bangladesh, most of which is only two to 13 metres above sea level, according to various estimates. The response to Hansen’s paper is therefore understandable.
The paper, Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim?, which Hansen co-authored with nine other scientists, called for greater reductions in CO2 emissions to prevent sea-level rise caused by the world’s inexorably melting ice.

When it comes to global warming, extreme scare stories abound. Al Gore, for example, famously claimed that a whopping six metres of sea-level rise would flood major cities around the world. Gore’s scientific advisor, Jim Hansen from NASA, has even topped his protégé. Hansen suggests that there will eventually be sea-level rises of 24 metres

The modern satellite record for the Arctic began in 1971, not 1979. Nimbus satellites showed a sharp increase in ice extent from 1974 to 1979. which NSIDC doesn’t like to discuss because it would completely mess up their linear graph below.

NASA Climatologist Predicts Disastrous Sea Level Rise
In an interview on Australian ABC Television program, The 7.30 Report, James Hansen, a prominent NASA climatologist, predicted the liklihood that the earth will pass a tipping point resulting in Sea Level Rise of up to a metre every 20 years. The trigger for this is an extra degree of global warming resulting in the runaway melting of the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice sheets.
