In 1988, NASA’s James Hansen told the US Senate that global warming had begun.

He said Lower Manhattan would be underwater by 2018 and that you wouldn’t be able to get a glass of water in New York restaurants because of the permanent drought.

NOAA issued six different “scenarios” for sea level rise.

Lower Manhattan is below the “Low Scenario” and sea level is rising there at the same rate it was 150 years ago.

One thousand years ago, King Knut took his subjects to the sea to show them that government doesn’t control sea level.  Unfortunately we don’t have politicians that intelligent any more.

Hansen was correct about one thing however.  You can’t get a glass of water in a Manhattan restaurant any more.

Most forecasts of worldwide food production have been based on the assumption that global weather will stay “Many climatologists have associated this drought and other recent weather anomalies with a global cooling trend and changes in atmospheric circulation which, if prolonged, pose serious threats to major food-producing regions of the world”

“In India, for example, before the global warming trend of 1890-1940. severe drought struck about once every four years. With the warming, however, and more abundant monsoon rains, drought came only once every 18 years or so, greatly increasing India’s grain production.””Annual average temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere increased rather dramatically from about 1890 through 1940, but have been falling ever since. The total change has averaged about one-half degree Centigrade”

“a study of the past reveals that the Earth’s climate is highly variable—indeed, that variability is one of its fundamental characteristics”

In 1974, government land temperature graphs showed no warming over a century and that the 1920s through the 1950s were very warm.

NOAA’s Tom Karl confirmed this in 1989.

But the world’s leading climate scientists agreed that the past had to change. And that is exactly what they did.
