James Hansen: Would you buy a used temperature data set from THIS man?

[Jesus Jones]

Before we get too worried about NASA’s latest stamping-its-little-feet claims that the world is getting hotter it is it is it IS, let us first remind ourselves why we should trust their temperature records slightly less far than we can spit.

Then let’s have a closer look at the character and motives of the man in charge of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), Dr James Hansen. Last year, he was described by his former course supervisor at NASA, Dr John Theon, as an “activist” and an embarrassment.

Or as the Great Booker puts it:

If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. (He was recently in the news here for supporting the Greenpeace activists acquitted of criminally damaging a coal-fired power station in Kent, on the grounds that the harm done to the planet by a new power station would far outweigh any damage they had done themselves.)

Now reader Michael Potts has drawn my attention to yet further evidence of Dr Hansen’s radical, virulently anti-democratic instincts. He has lent his support to an eco-fascist book advising on ways to destroy western industrialisation through propaganda, guile and outright sabotage.

In a scary new book called Time’s Up – whose free online version titled A Matter Of Scale you can read here – author Keith Farnish claims:

The only way to prevent global ecological collapse and thus ensure the survival of humanity is to rid the world of Industrial Civilization.

Err, all that article says is that the Telegraph doesn't like James Hansen. So what? Even if he was a baby-raping nazi what's that got to do with temperature records? He's anti-democratic? Ooooh, how scawy! If you think bad people do bad science then I assume you refuse to use anything originally developed by Edison. He was an evil cnut.

James Delingpole is a self described libertarian conservative, a self described brilliant author who describes himself as right about everything. Other people describe him as a Twat. His modesty is matched by his Resume', in which he modestly fails to mention a single qualification, other than of course the fact he is right about everything.

Clearly then, he is uber qualified to comment on the global warming debate and it's scientific players. He told you so himself. The Telegraph may be unabashedly Right wing, but it does itself no favours publishing a blog by such a lightweight. Even Exxon wouldn't waste money on sponsoring this flake. He certainly has a lot to be modest about.
