Nobody understands global warming

Except, apparently, Dr. Hansen.

The fun thing about quibbling over global warming is that the argument is essentially “trends” vs “data points.” People who claim that we need to act to reduce emissions and do other environmental things want to tell us that each year is a little bit worse than the last, and it’s going to keep going that way.

Peopel who claim that there’s nothing to worry about want to say that, sure, while it may be a little warmer this year, it’s just one year. What does that matter in the grand scheme of things?

And the really good part is that if you actually look at climate study data, you’ll find at least five million different trends all over the planet. Some places are getting warmer, some colder, and sure, you can take an average, but what does that really mean?

So nobdoy knows what’s going on. All we’ve got are best guesses.

But I think it’s funny that we have an entire NYT article covering the fact that Dr. Hansen from NASA is being “softly censored” about global warming, but the article doesn’t even try to say what Hansen isn’t allowed to say.

That’s good censorship.
