Holy ****
Just scrolled Jim hansen bio
His ******* entire thesis in college was about Venus
Yea ok and how does that apply to earth millions of miles away from the Venus and no humans on it?
Proganda dumb ****

Early life and education[edit]
Hansen was born in
Denison,
Iowa to James Ivan Hansen and Gladys Ray Hansen.
[8] He was trained in physics and astronomy in the
space scienceprogram of
James Van Allen at the
University of Iowa. He obtained a
B.A. in Physics and Mathematics with highest distinction in 1963, an
M.S. in Astronomy in 1965 and a
Ph.D. in Physics, in 1967, all three degrees from the University of Iowa. He participated in the NASA graduate traineeship from 1962 to 1966 and, at the same time, between 1965 and 1966, he was a visiting student at the Institute of Astrophysics at the
University of Kyotoand in the Department of Astronomy at the
University of Tokyo. Hansen then began work at the
Goddard Institute for Space Studies in 1967.
[9]
Career[edit]
After
graduate school, Hansen continued his work with
radiative transfer models, attempting to understand the
Venusian atmosphere. Later he applied and refined these models to understand the
Earth's atmosphere, in particular, the effects that
aerosols and
trace gases have on Earth's climate. Hansen's development and use of
global climate models has contributed to the further understanding of the
Earth's climate. In 2009 his first book,
Storms of My Grandchildren, was published.
[10] In 2012 he presented a 2012 TED Talk: Why I must speak out about climate change.
[11]
From 1981 to 2013, he was the head of the
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in
New York City, a part of the
Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland.
As of 2014, Hansen directs the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions at Columbia University's Earth Institute.
[12] The program is working to continue to "connect the dots" from advancing basic climate science to promoting public awareness to advocating policy actions.
Research and publications[edit]
As a college student at the
University of Iowa, Hansen was attracted to science and the research done by James Van Allen's
space science program in the physics and astronomy department. A decade later, his focus shifted to planetary research that involved trying to understand the climate change on earth that will result from
anthropogenic changes of the atmospheric composition.
Hansen has stated that one of his research interests is radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, especially the interpretation of
remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere and surface from satellites. Because of the ability of satellites to monitor the entire globe, they may be one of the most effective ways to monitor and study global change. His other interests include the development of
global circulation models to help understand the observed climate trends, and diagnosing human impacts on climate.
[13]
That is correct. Dr. Hansen did studies on Venus. And, also, the atmosphere of the Earth. He has an international reputation as one of the leading, if not the leading, atmospheric physicist in the world.
And what do you have, Bear? A reputation as another know-nothing poster on an internet board, same as me. Yet you dare pretend you know more than a man whose boots you are not fit to wipe.
