Shock news. In 1988, Hansen was told by the White House to minimize the amount of lies he presented to Congress.

OTTAWA — Governments around the world must “level the playing field” to ensure clean energy technologies grow fast enough to prevent dangerous levels of global warming, says a new report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency.

“Whether the priority is to ensure energy security, rebuild national and regional economies, or address climate change and local pollution, the accelerated transition towards a lower-carbon energy system offers opportunities in all of these areas,” said the report, Tracking Clean Energy Progress.

The agency, made up of 28 member countries including Canada, was created in 1974 to advise government about energy security. It has called on all governments to honour recent commitments made by G20 countries to phase out subsidies for the fossil fuel industry as part of a solution.

In June 1988, Hansen sabotaged the air conditioner in Congress and told us that the world is coming to an end. Temperatures in 2012 are 0.2C cooler than they were at the time of his testimony.

On June 23, 1988, (Hansen) delivered his testimony in an unusually toasty hearing room. Why was it so warm? As then-Sen. Tim Wirth (D., Colo.), told ABC’s Frontline: “We went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right, so that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room . . . it was really hot.”

The world’s leading climate scientist admitted that his 1988 testimony was incorrect, and believed that La Nina is “unusual”.

Mann-made global warming has erased the Medieval Warm Period, when Vikings actively farmed in Greenland.

Researchers at the University of Granada Department of Botanic have participated in an international study that has confirmed that global warming is causing plants to migrate to higher altitudes. The study –recently published in Science– analyzed species diversity shifts in 66 summits of 17 European ranges between 2001 and 2008.

In the Iberian Peninsula, two target regions were selected in the Pyrenees (Ordesa) and Sierra Nevada (Granada). Researchers found that the species under study had migrated an average of 2.7m upwards. “This finding confirms the hypothesis that a rise in temperatures drives Alpine flora to migrate upwards. As a result, rival species are threatened by competitors, which are migrating to higher altitudes. These changes pose a threat to high-mountain ecosystems in the long and medium term” the authors state.

Charles Darwin introduced the idea that competition, stress, climate change and natural selection were critically important to evolution – but the imbeciles in the global warming community don’t actually understand anything about science.

When the Beagle docked at land Charles was free to explore! He set about testing Lyell’s idea, in his five years abroad he witnessed earthquakes and volcanoes, and found fossils of seashells on top of the world’s biggest mountains. Everything he saw convinced Charles that Lyell was right, so he started thinking about life as being very old and possibly changing slowly over time.

When Darwin came home he started thinking about how animals and plants change through time. He thought that maybe, different types of animals and plants could change…they could evolve! And he thought he knew why. Charles saw that individual animals and plants compete with each other for food, water and space: the things they need to live. They’re fighting for their lives!

In 1989, the experts concluded that the US was not warming. Hansen’s 1999 graph agreed with that assessment.

Phil Jones also agreed that the US was not warming.

February 04, 1989

Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period.

Dr. (Phil) Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings.

Hansen wrote in 1999 that the climate had improved since the 1930s.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

No warming means no funding and no massive ego trip, so Hansen fixed the temperature record in the year 2000 to produce a lot of US warming prior to 1989.
