The map above shows in blue, areas of the country which had their hottest year below Hansen’s safe level of 350 ppm. Areas in red had their hottest year above 350 ppm. (Almost all of those occurred in 1998.)
79% of the country had their hottest year when CO2 levels were considered safe from global warming.
In his June 23, 1988 Congressional testimony he said this :
Once again, he had no idea what he was talking about.

What good fortune for governments that the people do not think.
The great mass of people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.
The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.
Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent.
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Do it quickly – before Manhattan drowns and the ice caps disappear in 2008.
AUSTRALIA’S scientific community will launch a campaign tonight aimed at redressing what it says is the damage to science which is being caused by climate change denial.
At its annual gathering in Canberra today, the Federation of Australian Science and Technological Societies will tell politicians that the campaign being run against scientific evidence of man-made climate change ”is undermining the national building work of all scientists”.
Its own campaign, respect the science, will seek to broaden the understanding of how science works. “The valuable and credible work of all scientists is under attack as a result of a noisy misinformation campaign by climate denialists. It’s in the nation’s interests that our political leaders now lead the community forward on this critical issue,” the federation’s chief executive officer, Anna-Maria Arabia, said.

Vostok ice core data
http://blogs.edf.org/climate411/2007/06/29/human_cause-3/
Over the last sixty years, atmospheric CO2 has risen almost 50% higher than at any other time during the last 400,000 years. However, temperatures at Vostok during that time have been flat to down.
The implication is that climate sensitivity is zero, and that past (lagging) changes in CO2 are are due to outgassing and absorption of CO2 by the oceans.
