Good news! ...   (goog2k)20.11.2009
Good news! potholer54, who's a semi-retired science journalist from Australia has produced 5 excellent YouTubes on the whole science of Global Warming, as well as many other great science vids. Yester​day, he uploaded his latest, which I highly recommend -- already 4,884 views! 5. Climate Change -- isn't it natural? /wat​ch?v=w5hs4KVei​AU&feature=sub​ It debunks denier's lies about periods of earth's history which had high levels of CO2, particularly the Ordovician

The iinterviewer states the date is 20 years to the day after the 1988 Congressional​ hearings.

spini123 are you serious why do you blame conservatives​ when leftist liberals kill more people with their ideology and you quote "GOD help us al"l the left does not believe in god its not PC remember those dam Christians revise your text book buy the original version of what you are studying not that rewrite you have!
I guess my Dad ...   (dragonesse91)11.7.2009
I guess my Dad wasn't a genius-all he got was killed in a VW in '62. I MISS him-he was an "early adapter" of gas saving auto's, which the VW was. anything we can do to clean our world back up EXCEPT for killing humans 9the alleged problem) and that doesn't ROB us "noble peasants," I'm ALL for it. If we must kill humans though-Please​ start with the GENIUSES FIRST! I don't want them scaring us noble peasants until it can't be avoided any longer. LOL!
Dr Hansen useed ...   (vert107)23.6.2009
Dr Hansen useed these dices in the late 80s. How recent is this video? It is still an effective pedagogical tool since it says that cool years can still happen, but the trends is towards a temperature increase. Amazing that this video is still as relevant that the predictions of Hansen in the 80s have all been confirmed.
Spini, where were ...   (eddieedgar)12.6.2009
Spini, where were you educated? Stalin was a leftist (communist) as were the Khmer Rouge people. The leftists have killed more people because of idealogy than Hitler. It's the lefties that are trying to jam this crap down our throats. Sorry, there are too many of us with common sense who won't be fooled by this "cap and trade" nonsense.
There's something ...   (Spini123)4.4.2009
There's something all you fools should remember... Just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean it isn't true. All the negative comments here stem from a conservative political agenda. The worst kind of anti-intellec​tual conservatism,​ reminiscent of Stalin or the Kehmer Rouge. They'd probably be happy to kill all the teachers, doctors and scientists, and make us all noble peasant farmers. God help us all.
I'm just glad that ...   (beaminup)2.4.2009
I'm just glad that this time James Hansen has put enough incriminating​ evidence out about his beliefs in AGW that when he changes his mind again there will be no dispute as to his previous convictions. ​ I think time will convict Mr. Hansen of being an activist fool who has manipulated data to benefit his career. People in 50 years will laugh that anybody ever believed his rantings. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

This man is an idiot. The globe has been cooling for more than 10 years now.

Looks like the Rush Limbaugh Dittohead party crowd has descended on YouTube to give us their (Exxon's) brilliant insights (propaganda).
Hansen's concerns ...   (CaptainSlackbladder5)16.3.2009
Hansen's concerns haven't of course got anything at all to do with increasing NASA's budgets, no, definitely not. Strange that, when considering that the U.S publics interest in space flight is well and truly at an end.....
Dr. Edgar Mitchell ...   (TrooperRaven)1.3.2009
Dr. Edgar Mitchell says that NASA and various U.S. intelligence agencies have covered up the discovery of ETs. So naturally, NASA and the mainstream media 'sadly' dismiss a once famous astronaut as an old fool. On the other hand we have James Hansen, whose training is not in meteorology or climatology but rather physics and astronomy, and is widely hailed as an 'expert' by the mainstream media and politicians alike who have the Kyoto Protocol in their sights. The guy is full of crap.
It came to him ...   (TrooperRaven)1.3.2009
It came to him while driving his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. The dice were swinging erratically from his rear view mirror and he had a Eureka moment. The man's a freakin' genius, don't you know.
James Hansen has ...   (TrooperRaven)1.3.2009
James Hansen has crossed the line into the realm of science fiction. The global warming crowd sound like those espousing a religion.
James Hansen ...   (TrooperRaven)1.3.2009
James Hansen traveled with Al Gore during the promotion of 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Do you think they used a private jet for these jaunts? How many carbon credits did Gore have to sell Hansen for his part in destroying the atmosphere during their marketing blitz?

You say "and mentally evolve"????? You mean Dissolve as in your brain dead head - You actually believe this huh? OK...Let me know what happens in 50 million years
Dr. James Hansen, I ...   (paidmeat)27.2.2009
Dr. James Hansen, I bet you were loads of fun as a kid. I mean after all how many actually believe in Santa Clause at the age of 17? I'm willing to bet that you today still put your loose teeth under a pillow expecting the tooth fairy as well...Correc​t? Come on - Jimmy, you can tell us. How bout putting themometer up your ass? I'll bet you'll read about 98.6 but not the one that goes on your head because there's nothing in there so you are suffering from BRAINLESS WARNING not global warming
From 1998 to the ...   (HAILERSALSO)23.2.2009
From 1998 to the present, the temperatures have gone down. There's been no reduction of CO2 during those years. Common sense says James Hansen is full of BS.
Everyone knows that ...   (Freedomlover1962)19.1.2009
Everyone knows that hunters using SUVs to hunt wooly mammoths caused the ice sheets covering the northern hemisphere to melt. LOL! Manbearpig is coming, just ask Al Gore, the man is a genious!

Warming relative to the 1950-80 solar cooling period, what a KILLER example...Han​sen is an unhinged liar! Google: James Hansen Liar

"What's with the giant dice? lol " dr james hansen was explaining global warming as a probability over time which allows for some years to be cooler than normal and still show a warming trend over a longer period of time
CO2 persists in the ...   (pseudotruth)15.11.2008
CO2 persists in the atmosphere almost for ever. Google: David Archer Fate of fossil fuel CO2 in geologic time A better approximation​ of the lifetime of fossil fuel CO2 for public discussion might be 300 years, plus 25% that lasts forever.

I think Dr. Hansen is a great mind. It's truly time for people to take a closer look at the "BIG" picture and mentally evolve. We need to instigate change that will preserve our earth.
