Former Top NASA Scientist Predicts Catastrophic Rise In Sea Levels
Quoted Text
WASHINGTON -- One of the nation's most recognizable names in climate science, Dr. James Hansen, released a new paper this week warning that even 2 degrees Celsius of global warming may be "highly dangerous" for humanity.
The paper, which will be published online in the European Geosciences Union journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussion later this week, projects sea levels rising as much as 10 feet in the next 50 years.
The paper notes there is evidence indicating that average temperatures just 1 degree Celsius warmer than today caused sea levels to rise 16 to 30 feet and fed extreme storms thousands of years ago.

May 29, 2013 12:16PM Current Wisdom: Hansen’s Extreme Sea Level Rise Projections Drowning in Hubris By Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. "Chip" Knappenberger Share
The Current Wisdom is a series of monthly articles in which Patrick J. Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science, reviews interesting items on global warming in the scientific literature that may not have received the media attention that they deserved, or have been misinterpreted in the popular press.
Retired NASA scientist and peripatetic global warming crusader James Hansen has a—let’s put it delicately—unique view of sea-level rise resulting from mankind’s use of fossil fuels. Specifically, he believes global average sea level will rise some 15 to 20 feet by 2095. The central estimate from the most recent report from U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is about 15 inches.
Hansen’s an outlier, and proud of it, thinking himself more courageous than other scientists who, he says, are “reticent” to tell the public how bad things really are.
Wethinks that Hansen doth protest too much. His scientific arguments for a large and rapid sea level rise this century simply don’t hold water.
He laid out a summary of his logic on sea level rise in a book chapter (co-authored with Makiko Sato) published last year titled “Paleoclimate Implications for Human-Made Climate Change.”

Temperature data from four international science institutions. All show rapid warming in the past few decades and that the last decade has been the warmest on record.
I guess our choice is believe Conspiracy Hack Bumbler... OR We can believe 97% of Scientists and NASA. (I'm going with the Scientists and NASA)
An organization that believes they are the ONLY ones that know the fate of humanity - promise they can save you if you follow their teachings - require you to repent for yours sins against the climate, and depend on your money to fund them. Hmmmm....sounds familiar....

Bumble, we all know that climate changes and has been since the earth was formed and long before man walked on the earth.
yup....it's clearly nothing more and nothing less than 'weather change'...and it will continue to change. but only the 'chosen few' can see the truth!
the rest are lost brainwashed idiots!!

There are three category 4 hurricanes formed in the Pacific, an event The Weather Channel describes as the first in recorded history.
This is the first recorded occurrence of three Category 4 hurricanes in the central and eastern Pacific basins at the same time. In addition, it's also the first time with three major hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger) in those basins simultaneously, according to hurricane specialist Eric Blake of the National Hurricane Center.

Yea... Think Progress Just Copied NOAA's data. Bucky would prefer they just made up the data and pretend there is no Climate Change!
Year-to-date temperature anomalies for 2015 (black line) to the six warmest years on record: 2014, 2010, 2013, 2005, 2009, and 1998 (via NOAA). Each month along each trace represents the year-to-date average temperature: The January value is the January anomaly (departure from the 20th century average temperature), the February value is the average of both January and February, and so on.
