maybe he means a “multi-millimeter sea level rise by 2100”.

fyi

[bigheadfred]

I agree with 2 out of those 3 words. I’m certain.

[Marine_Uncle]

I am beginning to think he just likes playing games. After all NASA will not fire him. He is like some evil bastard that knows everyone thinks he is a lier but laughs in their faces and continues to lie. Like dare me... What are you going to do about it suckers...
So much like the usurper now residing in the WH.

Let's see.....

Hansen is about 70 yr. old.

I'd say he'd be safe in making predictions for things beyond about 2050. That way no one can prove him wrong while he is alive.

James Hansen (quote), from October 2004:

"Several years ago I received the Heinz Environment Award. I don't know who nominated me for that award or how the selection works."

"I am confident that it has no impact on my evaluation of the climate problem or on my political leanings."

"In the upcoming election I will vote for John Kerry."

"Hansen is best known for his research in the field of climatology, his testimony on climate change to congressional committees in 1988 that helped raise broad awareness of global warming, and his advocacy of action to limit the impacts of climate change."

Of “many” meters, would be 3 meters or more, right?

There are only 90 years left in the century, so 3.3cm per year minimum, no?

This should be easy to quantify then. By 2020, sea levels should be up 33cm. That’s a lot and certainly easy to refute if it doesn’t happen.

NASA needs to establish a permanent two man outpost on the Moon, and I've got the perfect two in mind....Hansen and Gore.

18-below this morning. 33-below Saturday morning. Yep, this global warming climate change whatever is some rough stuff. Good thing folks are basking on the beach in Florida in their long underwear and sweaters. Attaboy Jim.

THis man makes the “Mad Hatter” seem very sane.

[TheBattman]

Read an academic journal article some time back that addressed this - apparently, because all that sea ice FLOATS, it already displaces the majority of it’s volume. Even if all the ice from the ice caps melted - it would not cause the sea levels to rise “meters” - not even close.

But sea levels will also fall by the same amount so the rise will be hidden in the fall and will not be detectable except by examining the entrails of goats and swirling tea leaves.

“The Hansen” has spoken!

[Publius6961]

You gotta hand it to the guy, despite almost every single one of his prognostications turning out to be wrong, he doesn’t bat an eyelid but just right on going. And they keep letting him.

Please help me out here.
"Almost every single one [predictions} has been wrong?"

Which one has been right?
out of how many predictions total?

If this guy is on the wrong side of "flipping a coin" accuracy, he should be investigated and fired for incompetence!

Am I the only one who sees the weasel words?
"It is this scenario for which we assert that multi-meter sea level rise on the century time scale are not only possible, but almost dead certain.”
Unfortunately, the premise (non facts) which supports 'this scenario' is false. Hence the assertion falls firmly in the "Garbage in, Garbage Out" category.
