James Hansen
A level of no more than 350 ppm is still feasible, with the help of reforestation and improved agricultural practices, but just barely - time is running out.
James Hansen
The last time the world was three degrees warmer than today-which is what we expect later this century-sea levels were 25m higher. So that is what we can look forward to if we don't act soon.
James Hansen
I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change. No longer than a decade at most.
James Hansen
Adding CO2 to the air is like throwing another blanket on the bed.
James Hansen

James Hansen
I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
James Hansen
As you get more global warming, you should see an increase in the extremes of the hydrological cycle - droughts and floods and heavy precipitation.
James Hansen
Scientists will say we can't blame global warming for any single event. In a sense that's right, but the fact that the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing you can blame on global warming.
James Hansen
The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
James Hansen
The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains. Coal-fired power plants are factories of death.
James Hansen
Some Democrats deserve to be criticized.
James Hansen
The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change.
James Hansen
Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril.
James Hansen
The urgency derives from the nearness of climate tipping points.
James Hansen
'Goals' and 'caps' on carbon emissions are practically worthless, if coal emissions continue, because of the exceedingly long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the air.
James Hansen
The five warmest years over the last century occurred in the last eight years.
