Revelations probably has more scientific credibility than Mr. Hansen's fevered propaganda.

Hansen is a fraud who believes his own scam. Take away the bad data, and which of Hansen’s global warming prophecies has come true?

If every human on the face of the Earth ceased all activity and put zero emissions into the air, it wouldn’t stop the climate change taking place now. What’s happening now is happening because of natural forces, not because of what we are doing.

Wow! I suppose this stooge hasn’t even read some of those East Anglia emails or chose to ignore them because he’s too intellectually lazy to re-examine his false belief in AGW.
Your prophet is a corrupt stooge that very well may be forced to resign in disgrace if we get a sane president in the future.

Since the year I was born, 1979, 40 percent of the Arctic sea ice has vanished. If we don't change our behavior fast, Hansen says I will live to see the day when it is all gone, and the North Pole is a point in the open ocean, reachable by boat. Maybe we should point out to these people that when you go to the Arctic Sea in the summer there is less ice than when you visit in the winter, then everything is all frozen up again.

>> This is only one of a dozen effects of global warming that are just as terrifying. If we burn all the world’s remaining fossil fuels, there is only one precedent in the climate record for the warming that will occur. It happened at the end of the Permian period 251 million years ago, when the world warmed by 6 degrees. The result? Almost everything on Earth died. A solitary pig-sized creature, the Lystrosaurus, had the land to itself for another 30 million years. Hansen’s is the only nonfiction book to ever give me nightmares. <<
IDIOT!!!! The Permian Extinction was not caused by the warming of the planet a mere 6 degrees, but by other factors, one such factor may have been rapidly increased volcanic activity and another theory could have been Gamma Ray Burst leaving to massive amounts of Nitrous Oxide int he Atmosphere, NOT CO2. Plus at the time we had a “Super Continent” called Pangea which could have increase the effects of some of the above mentioned causes.

we have no choice now but for American citizens to take direct physical action against the polluters. Doesn't that sound like a call for people to storm the gates of Exxon, PG&E, etc.?

This so-called “science” is a religion to the left. It has other advantages for Mr. Hansen as well, including attractive advances for his books, and invitations to speak at “climate change” conferences all over the world and deliver his message to the true believers.
False religion and personal gain combine to make a potent combination, but one that has little relationship to the truth.

Oh, I neglected to mention the opportunity to be fawned over by journalists in search of a story. However, depending on the circumstance, that may or may not be credited as an inducement.

For one-third of a century now, this cantankerous scientist has been more accurate in his predictions about global warming than anyone else alive. What utter BS................

The main problem with folks who buy into this silliness is that they can only consider what they're seeing with their own eyes. They can't imagine anything different, so they can't imagine that this might have happened before, many times in fact, and even before humans were on the planet.
Since THEIR lives are of paramount importance, everything that happens in their lifetimes is what determines the future.
