Dr James Hansen - Doing the back stroke on AGW...

The ponderous response of the climate system also means that we don’t need to instantaneously reduce GHG amounts. However, despite uncertainties about some climate processes, we know enough to say that the time scale on which we must begin to reduce atmospheric GHG amounts is measured in decades, not centuries.

SO the consensus and AGW science is not so settled after all.. And not so much of an emergency as we were first led to believe..

The Father of Global Warming is now back stroking in an admission that we don't know how or why our climatic system on earth works...

Stunning.... Ponderously So....

No, James, it is not decades. It could be done very quickly if we really needed to do it.

"The ponderous response of the climate system also means that we don’t need to instantaneously reduce GHG amounts. However, despite uncertainties about some climate processes, we know enough to say that the time scale on which we must begin to reduce atmospheric GHG amounts is measured in decades, not centuries. Given the fact that the fastest time scale to replace energy systems is decades, that means that we must get the political processes moving now. And that won’t happen until the public has understanding of what is actually needed and demands it." James Hansen 12/2/16

Furthermore, I don't know who you think "we" is. The US is not the problem.

The upshot is that there is already much more climate change “in the pipeline” without any further increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs). That does not mean the problem is unsolvable, but it does mean that we will need to decrease the amount of GHGs in the relatively near future.

In other words, no matter what rate we reduce the emissions now, the changes that will happen are going to be significant. In order to avoid even more significant changes, we need to be changing the generation of energy for electricity and transportation as quickly as possible. And that will take decades. In the meantime, the changes already foreordained by the present amount of GHGs will cost us dearly.

With 5% of the population, we put out 14.6% of the GHGs, and we are not the problem? What kind of ******* engineer are you? Yes, China has rapidly surpassed us as they industrialized. But we have been industrialized for more than a century. So our total contribution to the anthropogenic GHG load is still far larger than China's.

All nations need to reduce their GHG output as quickly as possible.

''Our emission could go to zero overnight and China, India and the rest of the developing nations would replace it in 5 years. Their CO2 emission have been increasing at ~ 1 billion tons per year for the last 13 years. You are posting in the wrong forum in the wrong language.

Its rather telling that He nor you can tell us exactly what is meant by "in the pipeline". Neither he nor you have a ******* clue as to what that might be... At least Hansen has the balls to say he doesn't know..

Summary. The global temperature rose by 0.20C between the middle 1960's and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated greenhouse 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 1980's. 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.

The Northwest Passage first opened in 2007. Last summer a 700 passenger luxury cruise ship traversed the Passage last summer. Droughts in California, Oregon, and Washington state resulted in fires that charred millions of acres. This year, we see what the drought in the Southeast has created for Tennessee.

Arctic Meltdown Opens Fabled Northwest Passage

CRedit: ESA

A fabled sea route above North America linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans has become a reality thanks to global warming.

Scientists have confirmed that in August, Arctic sea ice shrank to its lowest levels since satellite measurements began monitoring the region nearly 30 years ago. One consequence of this is that the Northwest Passage has opened up much earlier than expected.

"We're several decades ahead of schedule right now," said Mark Serreze, a senior scientist at the University of Colorado's National Snow and Ice Data Center, which monitors the region.

By MARK THIESSEN, Associated Press

NOME, Alaska (AP) — The giant luxury cruise liner was anchored just off Nome, too hulking to use the Bering Sea community's docks on its inaugural visit.

Instead, its more than 900 passengers piled into small transport boats and motored to shore, where they snapped photos of wild musk oxen, lifted glasses in the town's colorful bars and nibbled blueberry pie while admiring Alaska Native dancers at Nome's summer celebration.


[PHOTOS: The Real Impact of Climate Change]


The Crystal Serenity's visit to Alaska's western coast is historic. At nearly three football fields long and 13 stories tall, the cruise ship is the largest ever to traverse the Northwest Passage, where its well-heeled guests glimpsed polar bears, kayaked along Canada's north shore, landed on pristine beaches and hiked where few have stepped.

Damn Old Crook must you always be stupid?

All you need do is an internet search on Hansen and you will find many predictions the dickhead made that have never materialized. This is true for nearly all the high priests of the Church of Warmers...peace be upon them.

The problem with some warmers you included, is you are generally uninformed so facts surprise you.

No, James, it is not decades. It could be done very quickly if we really needed to do it.

"The ponderous response of the climate system also means that we don’t need to instantaneously reduce GHG amounts. However, despite uncertainties about some climate processes, we know enough to say that the time scale on which we must begin to reduce atmospheric GHG amounts is measured in decades, not centuries. Given the fact that the fastest time scale to replace energy systems is decades, that means that we must get the political processes moving now. And that won’t happen until the public has understanding of what is actually needed and demands it." James Hansen 12/2/16

Furthermore, I don't know who you think "we" is. The US is not the problem.

With 5% of the population, we put out 14.6% of the GHGs, and we are not the problem? What kind of ******* engineer are you? Yes, China has rapidly surpassed us as they industrialized. But we have been industrialized for more than a century. So our total contribution to the anthropogenic GHG load is still far larger than China's.

All nations need to reduce their GHG output as quickly as possible.

The kind that knows if our emissions went to zero tomorrow, they would be replaced in 5 years by the rest of the world. We are not the problem.

No doubt that fact is unknown to Old Crotch and those like him, but I suspect it does not matter. They believe what they believe and facts do not change them.
