A hoax based on a fraud Rush Limbaugh calls climatologist James Hansen a 'double agent'	Kit Stolz	29 Sep 2007	Gristmill
Earlier this week, the notorious Rush Limbaugh got in trouble for calling soldiers in Iraq opposed to the war "phony." Thursday he called the science of ozone depletion "phony" and the science of climate change "fraudulent." Limbaugh went on to accuse Dr. James Hansen, America's top climatologist, of being "dishonest," compared him to a "CIA double agent," and said he should be "drummed out of NASA." Does an ...

Science: Eh, who cares? Hansen says scientists need lovin', too	Kate Sheppard	26 Jun 2007	Gristmill
NASA climate scientist James Hansen has a new paper out, titled 'How Can We Avert Dangerous Climate Change,' which is actually a slightly-edited version of his testimony before Congress in April. The paper is available online here (PDF), and it's worth checking out, of course. But also interesting is the preamble Hansen included in his email announcing the new paper: President Eisenhower was arguably the last United States President to seek and value advice of scien ...

Hansen keeps sounding the alarm Is anyone listening?	David Roberts	19 Jun 2007	Gristmill
James Hansen has a new paper out, co-authored with six other scientists: "Climate Change and trace gases." It appears in the current issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, and Hansen says: "In my opinion, among our papers this one probably does the best job of making clear that the Earth is getting perilously close to climate changes that could run out of our control." Steve Connor has a writeup in The Independent. Sounds l ...

NASA administrator says stupid things Hard to believe he's part of the Bush administration!	David Roberts	31 May 2007	Gristmill
Everybody and their cousin has already posted on this, so I won't spend a lot of time on it, but yesterday on NPR, NASA administrator Michael Griffin said some extraordinarily stupid things. To wit: I'm aware that global warming exists. ... Whether that is a longterm concern or not, I can't say. ... ... I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate t ...

Yet another must-read by James Hansen On 'scientific reticence' and sea-level rise	Joseph Romm	25 May 2007	Gristmill
Sea level rise of 5 meters in one century? Even if most scientists will not say so publicly, that catastrophe is a real possibility, according to the director of NASA's Goddard Institute Of Space Studies. It may seem like I single Hansen out for recommended reading. But that's only because he: is the nation's top climatologist writes prolifically speaks with unusually bluntness for a scientist has been more right than just about any climat ...

Clarion Caller An interview with renowned climate scientist James Hansen	Kate Sheppard	15 May 2007	Main Dish
James Hansen. Photo: nasa.gov James Hansen, NASA's top climate expert, believes scientists have an obligation to speak out when their findings have important implications for the public -- and he certainly put that belief into practice last year when he told The New York Times that the Bush administration was trying to muzzle his calls for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Hansen has been ...

'Hansen has been wrong before' Maybe, but not about the climate!	Coby Beck	14 Dec 2006	Gristmill
(Part of the How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic guide) Objection: In 1988, Hansen predicted dire warming over the next decade -- and he was off by 300%. Why in the world should we listen to the same doom and gloom from him today? Answer: While in some instances it is ignorant repetition of misinformation, at its source this story is a plain lie. In 1988, James Hansen testified before the U.S. Senate on the danger of anthropogenic global warming. During that t ...

It's gettin' hot in herre	Lisa Hymas	01 Nov 2004	Gristmill
The New York Times editorial page took the Bushies to task yesterday for ignoring and distorting science on climate change, echoing accusations made by NASA's top-dog climatologist, Jim Hansen. Speaking in Iowa last week, Hansen castigated the Bush administration for its failure to face up to facts and act, and he 'said that he had been instructed by Sean O'Keefe, administrator of [NASA], not to discuss publicly the human contribution to global warming,' the Times writes ...
