The Truth About Climate Change

[Quantum Windbag]

The truth about climate change is that the poles are melting, and it's getting warmer.

And in the next century we will add 2,000 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere.

The truth, according to rdean, is that CO2 attracts asteroids.

The truth is that CO2 eating aliens will take over our planet, has to be.

Obviously, world socialism is the only thing that can save us.

James Hansen is the new Paul Erlich. will anyone remember Hansen's prediction of a probable El Nino a few months ago when we freeze our asses off this winter because of a large La Nina? of course not. only correct predictions count when it comes to CAGW and climate change. Jean Dixon would be proud of the way the warmist hucksters get their message out with no consequences when they're wrong. just widen the error bars until they are 'consistent with'.

Hansen surely isn't a expert on the ENSO. At the time he made the prediction the enso was warming and only a few of the models were hinting at a return of a nina. I believe at least...I think he said "IF" it returns!

really Matthew?

a seven page pdf made to look like a real journal article, giving reasons as to why he was making the prediction was not exactly hinting, and I didnt see the qualifier 'if'

Sometimes it is interesting to make a bet that looks like it is high risk, but really isn't. Such a bet can be offered at this point. The NOAA web pages giving weekly ENSO updates (http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/enso_evolution-status-fcsts-web.pdf) predict a return to ENSO-neutral conditions by mid-summer with some models suggesting a modest El Nino to follow. We have been checking these forecasts weekly for the past several years, and have noted that the models almost invariably are biased toward weak changes. Based on subsurface ocean temperatures, the way these have progressed the past several months, and comparisons with development of prior El Ninos, we believe that the system is moving toward a strong El Nino starting this summer. It's not a sure bet, but it is probable.[/QUOTE]

or how about this one from 2006-

Regarding Super El Niño events, let’s drop back a few years. In the draft of a paper titled Spotlight on Global Temperature dated March 29, 2006, you and a few of your associates predicted a “Super El Niño” for the 2006/07 ENSO season. (Thanks to DeSmogBlog for posting and maintaining the copy of the draft.) To refresh your memory, here’s what you wrote 5 years ago:

SUPER EL NINO IN 2006-2007? We suggest that an El Nino is likely to originate in 2006 and that there is a good chance it will be a ‘super El Niño’, rivaling the 1983 and 1997-1998 El Ninos, which were successively labeled the ‘El Nino of the century’ as they were of unprecedented strength in the previous 100 years (Fig. 1 of Fedorov and Philander 2000). Further, we argue that global warming causes an increase of such ‘super El Ninos’. Our rationale is based on interpretation of dominant mechanisms in the ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) phenomenon, examination of historical SST data, and observed Pacific Ocean SST anomalies in February 2006.

Hansen is just like Ehrlich. lurching from one bad prediction to the next one he dreams of happening
