Activist James Hansen attempts to link global warming to extreme heat waves
Hansen has several times published a HEADLINE with faulty data. He gets the big headline, usually in the nytimes, and then later corrects the data finding which is burried in the back pages. A nasty guy. He uses his title with NASA to gain credibility.
Hansen is employed by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and in the past few years has been arrested for his activist actions to attenuate the theoretical effects of man-made climate change. Dr. Stott did caution Hansen not to link specific heat-wave events to man-made global warming. "…we cannot say that the chances of such heat waves were negligible before global warming set in…"
