WARMING: Author cold to reality

| July 18, 2010 10:00 PM

Dr. James Hansen is one of the most significant Global Warming Alarmist Scientists in the United States today. His new book, Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About The Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity, is remarkable. Dr. Hansen actually believes that man is the chief cause of climate change and that the world will end almost immediately unless drastic measures are taken to reduce carbon dioxide. 

Dr. Hansen may be a great scientist, but he has little understanding of life. Just note this one example:

And barriers created by human beings, such as urban sprawl and homogeneous agricultural fields, block many migration routes. (P. 146)

Some seeds may be blocked by human habitation, but most are carried by the winds, birds or other animals. Anyone who has ever planted a garden and wondered about all the “weeds” knows that. Dr. Hansen is worried about the future, and may be a great scientist, but he is wrong about climate change and has little understanding of the Earth and Nature.  You read his book and draw your own conclusions.
