The paper was from 2000.
Weren't those the decades that Hanson played hide and seek with the numbers?

No surprise that there is no link to the paper from Hansen’s own site, but I got to wondering, what about the co-authors? I followed up on a single one, Makiko Sato. Sure enough, in her list of publications, that paper is listed. So, I skimmed the abstracts from the other papers she has listed (as co-author with Hansen) and came up with this gem of a quote from another paper in 1998:
“the index indicates that climate change should be apparent already, but in most places climate trends are too small too stand out above year-to-year variability. The climate index is strongly correlated with global surface temperature, which has increased as rapidly as projected by climate modelers in the 1980s. We argue that the global area with obvious global change will increase notably in the next few years.”
Wow. So, in 1998 they could NOT detect climate change over most of the earth, but predicted that this would change “notably in the next few years”. Except it hasn’t. The temperature trend over the glove since 1998 has been about zero.
The number of predictions made by the alarmists, in writing, that the march of time has falsified, is staggering.
