the northwest passage has been ice free before his prediction. so, is it a prediction if it already happened? Sea levels haven't gone up at all. In fact, the Norwegian cruise ship could have used that extra water this past week. Don't you think?Well now, we shall see who is correct on this issue.
So, Hansen cleared all the ice out of the Northwest Passage all by his self. And started the disinigration of the West Antarctic ice sheets on his own. You have seen the raw data charts. They are published by several differant groups. This is just one of them;so when the one doing the prediction, gets to manipulate data, no wonder the model prediction was right. LOL. Let's see the raw data set charts. Please!!!!!!!!!!!Pubs.GISS Hansen et al. 1981 Climate impact of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide
Hansen et al. 1981
Hansen, J., D. Johnson, A. Lacis, S. Lebedeff, P. Lee, D. Rind, and G. Russell, 1981: Climate impact of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Science, 213, 957-966, doi:10.1126/science.213.4511.957.
The global temperature rose 0.2°C between the middle 1960s and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Variations of volcanic aerosols and possibly solar luminosity appear to be primary causes of observed fluctuations about the mean trend of increasing temperature. It is shown that the anthropogenic carbon dioxide warming should emerge from the noise level of natural climate variability by the end of the century, and there is a high probability of warming in the 1980s. Potential effects on climate in the 21st century include the creation of drought-prone regions in North America and central Asia as part of a shifting of climatic zones, erosion of the West Antarctic ice sheet with a consequent worldwide rise in sea level, and opening of the fabled Northwest Passage.
Looks like a pretty unequivical prediction that has been spot on. Perhaps you should try reading some of what the real scientists have written instead of the political shit of the rightwing of the GOP.

Dude, you fail in so many ways it's hilarious.
