Hmm! Not in the circles I move in. He is head of NASA GISS where he has unmercifully fiddled the data, increasing recent temperatures and reducing historical ones to artificially create a greater rate of temperature rise.  Before the post-1999 GISS adjustments to the Contiguous U.S. GISTEMP data, the linear trend for the period of 1880 to 1999 was 0.035 deg C/decade. After the adjustments, the linear trend rose to 0.044 deg C/decade. Sounds triflingly small? Yes, but the global temperature rise over more than a century is only supposed to be 0.7degreesC. Some of us think most of that is UHIE passed off as CO2 induced warming plus mainly natural variation due to Mother Nature and Father Sun doing their thing! Hansen deserves the sack as does his sidekick, Gavin Schmidt, who promotes alarmism on NASA's time running the Realclimate blog. Some ex-NASA scientists have just protested about the unjustified alarmism issuing from a once-great institution. |
