I listened to these. As expected Hansen fails to discuss the uncertainty
of the climatic models and instead focusses on the drama underlying the
scenarios that assume AGW. Hansen said nothing that didn't involve
speculation based on conjecture based on uncertainty. The facts are that
there is no smoking gun form GW any more than there was a smoking gun for
the the climatologists 30 years ago that predicted the climate would be
plunged into another ice age.

Speculation base on conjecture based on uncertainty.

Global Warming Smoking Gun: Hurricanes ARE INCREASING in Frequency and
Intensities. http://tinyurl.com/acsnd

The above link leads to a webpage which examines government records on
hurricanes and tropical storms between 1850 and 2004. A copy of a chart
of annual activity taken from a NOAA website is displayed, then
dissected.

There are thirteen illustrations stripping away least significant data.
When the distractions have been reduced it shows conclusively that the
last decade is significantly different from all other decades in a
number of important parameters.

The number of mild years is disappearing and has been disappearing
increasingly for 50 years. The numbers of mild year intervals is at an
all time low. The density of years with more severe weather is
increasing -- less chance to catch a breath between bad years than ever
before.

The density of more years with more severe storms has increased tenfold
over the earliest 99 years of the time period.

The density of busiest hurricane years is seven of the last ten
compared to only four out of ten for the turbulent 50's.

Things have gotten worse in both ways: storms have grown from smaller
to larger which never used to grow larger as often, and storms of
harsher punishment are coming back to back more often.

These are the facts revealed from the government record of tropical
Atlantic storms from 1850 through 2004.

The debate is OVER. Global Warming is HERE NOW, and it is pounding
society to death now.

http://tinyurl.com/acsnd

* The most recent decade had 9.9 times the the busyness of intense
storms from the first 99 years of the average decade of the time
period.

* It had more busy peak years back-to-back than any of 14 earlier
decades.

* From 1850 through 1940 there were 28 mild years without any
hurricanes above catagory 2. There have only been four mild years since
then. The average jumped from one mild year ever 2.8 years to one mild
year every 16 years.

* There have been only two periods out of 154 years with high density
powerful storms continuously every year containing more than one strong
hurricane above cat 2. One of them is the recent ten year stretch.

* When you look at the record, only one decade had 9 out of 10 years
with more than 2 strong hurricanes -- the recent decade.

* Only one decade had seven busy years out of ten, of more than six
hurricanes in a year. The next closest was the turbulent 50's with only
four busy years.

GLOBAL WARMING is HERE NOW, not someday by and by. The data is on the
NOAA website is you know how to parse it out of the noise. Subtract
away less significant common denominators, until the evidence is
staring you in the face.

This is not the time to go into denial because you wanted Global
Warming to wait until later. The data can't be denied without severing
links to reality. That is called insanity.

There were air monitoring of storms throughout the 50s and 60s and
onwards, so NOBODY can claim there were stealth hurricanes that never
got counted.

No, but I do know more about the limitations of computing (and statistics)

Post your published works anywhere and the educational institution that
graduted you and gave you those intials after your name.

You are given LEGAL NOTICE that you are aiding and abetting an
ORGANIZED CRIME FELONY FRAUD operation, that you have joined in an
"enterprise" as defined by law, have committed one or more acts of
fraud using WIRES or U.S. Mail in collaboration with the illegal
enterprise. From this date forward any further actions on your part to
aid this enterprise are legally considered prima facia premeditated,
willful intent to violate FEDERAL LAW.

SEPPtic Tank is an ORGANIZED CRIME front operation headed by lifelong
career-criminal S. Fred Singer.

In 1994 Singer wrote a science hoax piece for big tobacco. The piece
was submitted to RJ Reynolds lawyers pre-publication. The piece was
short some "peer-reviewers" so a request was made for some names of
tame "whitecoats" willing to lie for money to sign off on the document.
Ultimately a bunch of names appeared on this science hoax document, as
well as inside it's pages. The whole thing became evidence in the
FEDERAL trial of the Big Seven Tobacco Companies in the late 1990s. The
documents were produced by subpoena (a turm meaning "under pain", like
we will hurt you bad if you don't comply). The evidence passed due
process of law in a trial admitted as evidence. The judge ordered the
evidence posted online for 10 years at Big Tobacco's expense -- oh,
year, the Tobacco Companies also agreed to pay $246,000,000,000.00 too.

Fred Singer is corrupt and I have seen the evidence from the trial that
proved he is corrupt. He is an ORGANIZED CRIME figure who uses science
hoaxes for corporate clients to falsify the state of knowledge on
subjects his clients need confused and obfuscated.

SEPP was organized in the premises of a Sun Myung Moon-owned office
suite. Moon is also a career criminal who was convicted of tax evasion
and money laundering, sent to FREDERAL PRISON, and is a known felon
convict.

FRED SINGER's SEPPtic Tank moved to the offices of Charles G. Koch
Summer Fellows Program at the Koch-owned George Mason University.
Killer Charles G. Koch and brother Killer David Koch operate KOCH
INDUSTRIES, which itself has been convicted of the largest fine in
corporate history -- $35,000,000.00 for pollution of air, lands and
waters of six states.

As I said, hubris. Curriculum Vitae, Mr. McGinn, please.
Fossil fools always have an exaggerated view of their own
qualifications; it's phenotypical for the species.

Does Sepp or Cato discuss the uncertainty of their pronouncements?

You're just too stupid to understand it.
