#3 nothing had come of his proposals
This so-called "scientist" should apply Occams's Razor to that result and realize that Britain's Royal Society and the US National Academy of Sciences both concluded that he is stark raving mad.

#7 After the week we just had here in the Midwest, I got dibs on running him over with my snowblower first.

#8 The ethical and intellectual collapse in much of science represented by the farcical and outrageous "global warming" nonsense surely ranks as the outstanding such episode in modern history.

In a world where more and more events force one to pinch oneself just to make sure you're actually living it, this is among the worst.

I'd be astonished if Bambi had the political will or guts to do anything serious (since that would mean economic calamity for no apparent gain). Instead, as with most of the vague and stupid ideas he and his ilk have been screaming or mumbling for years, they'll just define the issues away. While expanding the deadening hand of public sector spending and control, and appointing judges to continue the evisceration of the constitution and common sense rule of law, natch.

#9 Somehow, I think Bambi ain't gonna be as tolerant of Mr. Hansen's rank insubordination as Georgie W was.

#11 -50F in Maine. Global sea ice same as 30 years ago. Lower troposphere temps same as 20 years ago. Sea level possibly dropping, certainly the rise is near the normal 3mm/year.

#13 This is Hansen's job/promotion application being filed with BO and Carol Browner. Let's see if they bite.

Hansen's GW is a crock. But as long as temperatures seemed to be warming back in the 20th century many fence-sitters signed on to it.

Now things are NOT warming. They said the arctic ice would disappear. It's still there, and growing.) The glo-bull warming zealot continues to sail on in his Titanic of a political echo chamber. Methinks he is about to hit an iceburg.

Curious.

#15 LOL Darth.

#16 Now, now, Darth. As it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness, I recommend everyone make a big-ass pile of truck tires in the driveway and burn 'em down in honor of The Chosen One.

As for Hansen, it is nice that he has won the World Wrestling Federation's top conservation award, but he would have flunked out of Mr. Gazierowski's 10th grade chem class for writing bad lab reports.

#17 Doctor to patient: "You only have one year to live".

Patient: "But I need at least 3 years to pay off your bills!"

Doctor (fumbling with papers): "Oh, silly me, you still have 3 years to live."

#18 He does, GoldenShellback. He's got one 4-year shot.

If he can't manage to do it by then, even the lefties will want to kick his worthless ass out of office in 2012. (Albeit for different reasons then normal people will have.)

#19 Oh, Bulllogna he can do it whenever he likes. All he has to do is fly 'round the Earth real fast and fix it then.
