Hansen Busted

The chief global warming hack, James Hansen, who is often referred to as the “father of global warming” has been caught lying on several occasions. Most recently when NASA was found to be using false record dates for temperatures. Now he’s been caught in another falsehood. It’s time this dufus is written off as the attention whore that whe is.

Did NASA scientist James Hansen, the global warming alarmist in chief, once believe we were headed for . . . an ice age? An old Washington Post story indicates he did.

On July 9, 1971, the Post published a story headlined “U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming.” It told of a prediction by NASA and Columbia University scientist S.I. Rasool. The culprit: man’s use of fossil fuels.

The Post reported that Rasool, writing in Science, argued that in “the next 50 years” fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six degrees.

Sustained emissions over five to 10 years, Rasool claimed, “could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.”

Aiding Rasool’s research, the Post reported, was a “computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen,” who was, according to his resume, a Columbia University research associate at the time.

These people don’t understand anything about the climate if they think humans can so easily affect it. More importantly, when they make alarmist claims that would have major impacts on the world economy and laws, all of which would be negative, it’s time we (the people) stopped listening to these charlatans. They are like the crazy man shouting from the street corner.
