Hansen forecast a dramatic decline.
S. Fred Singer, former director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and University of Virginia professor emeritus commented about these sorry circumstances in the foreword of my book, stating in part:
“Many would place the beginning of the global warming hoax on the Senate testimony delivered by James Hansen of NASA [director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies] during the summer of 1988. More than anything else, this exhibition of hyped alarm triggered my active skepticism about the man-made global warming scare. This skepticism was amplified when I acted as reviewer of the first three IPCC reports, in 1990, 1996, and 2001. Increasingly claims were made for which there was no evidence; in some cases the ‘evidence’ was clearly manufactured. For example, the 1966 report used selective data and doctored graphs. It also featured changes in the text that were made after the scientists had approved it and before it was printed.”
The LA Times claims that New Mexico is “experiencing longer droughts. ”
If so, they need to be prosecuted. Why did they release this fraudulent map?

The Four Corners Power Plant in Fruitland, N.M., spews tons of invisible toxic pollutants from burning coal into the air, including nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and mercury.
Stupidity reigns supreme for lefties.
California, New Mexico and other Western states have begun to suffer longer droughts, rapidly melting snowpacks and other effects that scientists attribute to human-induced global warming.
Susana Martinez has been governor of New Mexico for five days, and is already reversing the insanity of the previous governor.
