EU Referendum suggested it first . Although he might seem an unlikely suspect, in The Guardian today, he reveals his underlying motivation, telling the paper that it would be better for the planet and for future generations if next week's Copenhagen climate change summit ended in collapse.(...) This is a man with the motive and, from his elevated status in the "climate change community",...

Sometimes the best is the enemy of the good-and sometimes ’good enough’ is the enemy of all mankind. That is why Jim Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and one of the world’s leading climate scientists, wants the global summit on climate change in Copenhagen to fail.

Jim Hansen, the preeminent climate scientist and now political activist has recently emailed out a new note, Never-Give-Up Fighting Spirit: Lessons From a Grandchild. The note was adapted to an article in Sunday’s Observer, and is in part publicity for his new book Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate [...]

We now know that the models on which the IPCC alarms are based to not do clouds, they do not do the biosphere, they do not explain the Pliocene warming, and they have never...

... politicized . To be clear, I have no problem with scientists being open advocates, with NASA's Jim Hansen as perhaps the most visible example -- through such advocacy is how democracies work. But when scientists claim to be representing the scientific establishment while at the same time are pursuing a political agenda, it hurts the credibility and trust given to scientists. At the time...

... with the general public. He appears in documentaries back in the 1980s, and is second only to Jim Hansen when it comes to battle scars. I dout there's anyone better positioned to tell the inside story of how science is hammered out. I read this book a few weeks ago, before the purloined emails found their way onto a Russian server, which helps explains why I used words like "banal"...

In his 2nd December post, Prof. Barry Brook reviews the context for Copenhagen, the latest climate science (the Copenhagen Diagnosis), the status of climate bills in Australia and U.S. (stalled and meaningless anyway). Barry quotes Jim Hansen when asked if there is a chance of adverting a real crisis (I had not seen this one [...]

They don't have a great record with their recent annual temperature forecasts, but it's still encouraging to see another set of experts endorsing my prediction , after Jim Hansen did at the start of the year and Gavin Schmidt did more recently. ENSO continues to grow stronger and the forecasts are getting slightly more confident.

... Search Nothing at all or very little; Very few, very little, or no More remarkable stuff from Jim Hansen: The most foolish no-fighting-spirit statement, made by scores of people, is this: “we have already passed the tipping point, it is too late.” They act as if a commitment to a meter of sea level rise is no different than a commitment to several tens of meters. Or, if a million...

... carbon tax, fee and dividend, etc.). I’d like to hear your thoughts in the comments section . Jim Hansen has made his views pretty darned clear . Here’s what he said recently asked if there any real chance of averting the climate crisis: Absolutely. It is possible – if we give politicians a cold, hard slap in the face. The fraudulence of the Copenhagen approach – “goals” for emission reductions,...

Dr. Hansen warns about reaching a point at which rapid catastrophic change occurs, particular in the cryosphere due to the loss of albedo.

The following is a re-post of “ Why We Must Phase Out Coal Emissions ,” originally posted to Solve Climate by Jim Hansen, 24 Nov 2009, which he had adapted from “Global Warming Time Bomb: Actions Needed to Avert Disaster,” a presentation that he made in Amsterdam on Oct. 26, 2009. After 25 years, about half of it has been taken up by the land and ocean, mostly by the ocean. However, the ocean...
