I can't get any sound out of that on my ageing PC! But taking what you
say at face value: Yes it sounds just as bad as TGGWS. There's no
trace on Google of any complaint from Hansen though.
Here in the UK we've got the latest of what seems to be a global
pattern of extreme weather (not just the ENSO effect on low pressure
tracks that's given us a poor Summer - it's the intensity of the
ensuing rainfall events). A pattern that seems to me to be developing
ahead of time - although I'm not a professional, just a reader of the
science. The "observational bias" argument against this apparent trend
is wearing thin with me.
Having been feeling quite sanguine about GW for some time, I'm
thinking once more that we're in for a mauling from Broecker's waking
dragon.
I just don't see any reason to overstate the dangers of what we're
blundering into. The unfolding reality looks bad enough from my
reading.
