The 5-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade, which we interpret as a combination of natural variability and a slow down in the growth rate of net climate forcing.

The five-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade
James Hansen
The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
James Hansen
Some Democrats deserve to be criticized.
James Hansen
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.
James Hansen
We have known since the 1800s that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. The right amount keeps the climate conducive to human life.
James Hansen
Politicians think that if matters look difficult, compromise is a good approach. Unfortunately, nature and the laws of physics cannot compromise - they are what they are.
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
As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
James Hansen
Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.
James Hansen
CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.
James Hansen
We are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption.
James Hansen
Recent warming coincides with rapid growth of human-made greenhouse gases. The observed rapid warming gives urgency to discussions about how to slow greenhouse gas emissions.
James Hansen
If we fail to act, we will end up with a different planet.
James Hansen
Rising carbon price is essential to 'decarbonize' the economy - to remove the nation towards the era beyond fossil fuels.
James Hansen
Adding CO2 to the air is like throwing another blanket on the bed.
James Hansen
Only in the last few years did the science crystallize, revealing the urgency - our planet really is in peril. If we do not change course soon, we will hand our children a situation that is out of their control.
James Hansen
Several times in Earth's history, rapid global warming occurred, apparently spurred by amplifying feedbacks. In each case, more than half of plant and animal species became extinct. New species came into being over tens and hundreds of thousands of years. But these are time scales and generations that we cannot imagine.
James Hansen
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
James Hansen
The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains. Coal-fired power plants are factories of death.
James Hansen
