Sorry, are you and James saying that Hansen is wrong? And that there is no need to panic about global warming? I think you will find that he isn't the only one to have said similar, and that is because they are panicing. James said that we would probably get the message that there is only ten years to go every ten years. Well if that was the case then you would expect the message ten years ago to have been we have only ten years to go as well. But it wasn't. It was we can leave thsi for our kids to sort out. Five years ago Broecker was saying we have twenty years to sort things out. Now Hansen is saying we have ten years. In another five years, what is going to be the cry then "We have another five years"? Only if the the proposed date remains unchanged, otherwise it will be "Its too late!" Face the facts, "Waur doomed!"
