NASA warming scientist: ‘This is the last chance’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Exactly 20 years after warning America about global warming, a top NASA scientist said the situation has gotten so bad that the world’s only hope is drastic action.<\/p>\n

James Hansen told Congress on Monday that the world has long passed the “dangerous level” for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and needs to get back to 1988 levels. He said Earth’s atmosphere can only stay this loaded with man-made carbon dioxide for a couple more decades without changes such as mass extinction, ecosystem collapse and dramatic sea level rises.<\/p>\n

“We’re toast if we don’t get on a very different path,” Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences who is sometimes called the godfather of global warming science, told The Associated Press. “This is the last chance.”<\/p>\n

Hansen brought global warming home to the public in June 1988 during a Washington heat wave, telling a Senate hearing that global warming was already here. To mark the anniversary, he testified before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming where he was called a prophet, and addressed a luncheon at the National Press Club where he was called a hero by former Sen. Tim Wirth, D-Colo., who headed the 1988 hearing.<\/p>\n

To cut emissions, Hansen said coal-fired power plants that don’t capture carbon dioxide emissions shouldn’t be used in the United States after 2025, and should be eliminated in the rest of the world by 2030. That carbon capture technology is still being developed and not yet cost efficient for power plants.<\/p>\n

In 1971, James Hansen helped create the model that told us of the coming ice age. When that didn’t happen, he turned to global warming. He’s a very intelligent nut job.<\/p>\n

The guy’s a putz. He’s been going back and changing the data so it fits his story better. Let’s keep it scientific then: Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is a theory (hypothesis). It is an unproven theory. What you do with theories is put them to the test with scientific observations. Let’s see what data points we now have:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Average annual temperatures have not surpassed 1998 (NOAA)<\/li>\n
  2. Average annual temperatures are now trending downward since 1998 (NOAA)<\/li>\n
  3. Ocean temperatures have not risen since 2000 when the 3000 Argo buoys were launched. The buoys even show a slight decrease in ocean temperatures<\/li>\n
  4. The Arctic ice froze to February levels by December, there are 1mm more sq km than before (previous was 13mm sq km)<\/li>\n
  5. The Arctic ice is 20cm thicker than “normal” (whatever that is)<\/li>\n
  6. All polar bear pods are stable or growing (NOAA\/PBS)<\/li>\n
  7. Mount Kilimanjaro is not melting because of global warming, rather “sublimation”<\/li>\n
  8. The Antarctic is not “melting”, it is growing in most places, the sloughing off at the edges is normal as the ice mass grows<\/li>\n
  9. The majority of the Antarctic is 8 degrees below “normal” (again, whatever that is)<\/li>\n
  10. The coveted .7 degree rise in temperatures over the last 100 years has been wiped out with last years below “normal” temperatures<\/li>\n
  11. Al Gores film was just deemed “propaganda” in a court of law in the UK as many points could not be substantiated by scientists<\/li>\n
  12. It was also just reveled that some of the footage in Al\u2019s film was CGI. The ice shelf collapse was from the movie \u201cThe Day After Tomorrow\u201d (ABC)<\/li>\n
  13. One of the scientists that originally thought that CO2 preceded the warming has now found with new data that the CO2 rise follows the warming (Dr David Evans)<\/li>\n
  14. Storms have become less frequent and less severe (many GW alarmists are now backtracking these earlier “theories”)<\/li>\n
  15. Droughts have always happened and always will<\/li>\n
  16. The greenhouse effect is real, our small contribution to it cannot even be measured<\/li>\n
  17. Several publications, including those that are \u201cwarmist\u201d have recently written that the \u201cnatural\u201d cycles of the earth may \u201cmask\u201d AGW. Give me a break.<\/li>\n
  18. 31,000 scientist have signed a petition against AGW!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With China (1 new coal fired plant coming on line each week) and India spewing millions of tons of CO2 in to the atmosphere, along with the rest of the world increasing their CO2 \u201cproduction\u201d over the last ten years, these results should be impossible.<\/p>\n

    Now, please be so kind to give me one piece of observable evidence that man is causing “global warming”.<\/p>\n

    …<\/p>\n

    Well, Chicken Little has struck again. I don’t know why people listen to this man, who keeps predicting that the sky is falling.<\/p>\n

    I guess the sun, the ocean, volcanoes and other things have very little bearing on global warming. Of course, what do they blame the “global warming” on other planets besides earth?<\/p>\n

    If one takes a look, there are over 31,000 scientists who have signed up stating they do not believe in this “religion.” This entire process is nothing more than a way to gain more power and to provide another way to raise taxes. They are watermelons. Green on the outside and red in the middle. When communism fell, the ones who believed in communism looked for another organization that had similar views, and they found one.<\/p>\n

    Me, I would rather live in this century than go back to the dark ages that Hensen and his group are advocating. However, even Al Gore doesn’t believe in this. After all, all the Green improvements he put in his house saw his energy bill go up by around 10%.<\/p>\n

    Just because they print the letters ‘NASA’ before his name this does not make him right.<\/p>\n

    Obviously.<\/p>\n

    And as for ‘carbon capture technology’ there is already a highly efficient form in existence, with near zero deployment costs, astonishing efficiency and many useful byproducts. The name of this technology is ‘Pale Flint’.<\/p>\n

    This amazing ‘Pale Flint’ technology is actually a form of biotech that works on the nano scale. Pale Flint can absorb CO2<\/sub> (Carbon Dioxide) and return O2<\/sub> (Oxygen) with an exceptional level efficiency<\/a>, whilst providing byproducts of the process that can be used in the fuel, chemical, clothing and food industry. Pale Flint is a ‘fire and forget technology when used in its most simple form; you simply deploy it by dropping it, and in a very short time scale, it begins to absorb CO2<\/sub> and produce O2<\/sub><\/a> without any supervision or interference from anyone. It also does not need to be connected to a man made energy source to run….astonishing!<\/p>\n

    Pale Flint<\/a> is here, right now, and if it is deployed aggressively, can soak up all the CO2<\/sub> man is producing in a very short amount of time.<\/p>\n

    If you think that is something you need to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
