BTW, keep in mind everyone, since we're talking
about policy Hansen also made some other
predictions in that context based on his 1988 study, particularly re
drought and sea level rise (some are in the hearing notes), which also proved to be, shall we say, overly enthusiastic.
The climate change debate is finally arriving at this third stage, with unsettling
predictions about populations displaced by sea - level rise,
drought and storm damage, etc..
