The growth of knowledge depends entirely on disagreement - Karl Popper.
Dr. Hansen issues these charges at a time when his own graph of future scenarios is mocked by reality. Both the GISS and HADCRUT temperature records are tracking below his scenario C which assumed zero emissions after the year 2000 while CO2 continues to increase under the assumptions of his 'business as usual' Scenario A. The conclusion to be drawn from this anomaly is that climate models attribute a starring role to CO2 that is not justified by the behaviour of the real world. There is no catastrophe in the making. Doomsday can be called off again.
“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years.
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder
for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in
the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an
ice age.”

Guess the trend changed.
Doomsayers haven't got one right yet. Doomsayers peddle FEAR with a side
dish of GUILT for reasons that have nothing to do with science.
"In
searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the
like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human
intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity
itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common
adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if
this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose." ~Club of Rome
Dr Hansen's continued doomsday warnings in the face of this falsification of his own projections betray an agenda that is not based in science. The agenda is based in FEAR with a side dish of GUILT. And his fanatical devotion to a cause that Nature repudiates is testimony to his delusional ravings. He has chosen to close his eyes and mind to reality and for a scientist that is inexcusable.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts -- Bertrand Russell
During the winter of 2011-2012 Europe, Russia, China, Japan and Alaska as well as the Western US and Canada experienced severe cold with lots of snow. In the Eastern US and southern Ontario a warm winter was enjoyed. CO2 is blamed for both so how does this work? What is the mechanism by which CO2, a so-called heat trapping trace gas essential to life on earth, sucks heat out of much of the winter world and at the same time traps heat in a select portion of the rest of the winter world. Australia also had a cooler than normal summer so how did CO2 act as a heat eating gas in the southern hemisphere summer? Does CO2 absorb all the heat in one part of the world and then hop a ride on the jet stream to deposit the heat in another part of the world? And how does it decide from where to where?
Or does the explanation lie elsewhere and have nothing whatever to do with CO2?
In which case, CAGW is a farce and we have wasted untold billions of dollars on 'green schemes' that were totally unnecessary because there was never a problem in the first place. The MSM has missed the story of the century while promulgating the scam of the century.
It must be difficult to find himself near the end of his career living with the knowledge that his gravest warning to humanity was in error. It would take quite a human being to recognize that and be able to stand up and publicly admit it. The alternative to forge ahead as if he were right, adjusting data as he goes to bolster his unforgivable secret, will waste untold billions more before the truth percolates to the top as it inevitably will. I hope he lives to see it.
In this case the 'crimes against humanity' epithet is applied to those who do not deserve it by those who do. They use it first to deflect attention away from their own misdeeds. Perhaps no one will notice that reality has rendered her verdict on man made climate models: they cannot simulate the past or the future and therefore they are useless as guides for policy makers.
CO2 brings runaway global warming? Geology would beg to differ.
If the CEOs of fossil fuel firms are climate criminals then so are we all as we continue to ignore the deleterious effects of exhaling CO2 into the atmosphere. And that is just how stupid this issue has become.
