His only a modeler. Of course, one of the cavaets is the capacity of the matematical model to capture the real evolution of the weather all over the globe. Nevertheless, through continual model improvements the daily numerical weather prediction analyses have become very valuable as research tools.

Griffin's arrogance in suggesting it's ok for us to ignore climate impacts is so far beyond the pale it is a real public service that Hansen does by challenging it so well and tying it to the Bush administration's many outrages suppressing the science of climate change the post above, aside from being grammatically challenged attacks Hansen and misrepresents the science.

I've been listening to the guy for about 15 years now, and this is a long-standing pattern for him. Anyway, you can't blame Hansen for character-assasinating people who disagree with his personal views. Because that's how "climate science" progresses... be a complete a** to anybody who disagrees with you or questions your religiously held beliefs. Impressive. Since when has anything Hansen said been anything but over the top?

The nice thing about history, is that there is empirical evidence that establishes what is fact, and what is bloviating. You sir, are a proven bloviator. What used to be "over the top" is now the most conservative spin you can possibly put on the science of climate change. And Hansen isn't "character assasinating" people who disagree with HIM; he's contesting people's claims when THEY disagree with the facts. The reason people like you dislike him so, isn't that he plays fast and loose with the facts, it's that he won't allow apologists and those ignorant of the facts to do so. Carrick:
