Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate
By PHILIP SHABECOFF, Special to the New York Times
Published: June 24, 1988Dr. Hansen, director of NASA’s Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, testifed before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
He and other scientists testifying before the Senate panel today said that projections of the climate change that is now apparently occurring mean that the Southeastern and Midwestern sections of the United States will be subject to frequent episodes of very high temperatures and drought in the next decade and beyond.

Looks like drought has decreased in Michigan with increased CO2. Look at how bad it was from 1895 to 1932.

Other Midwest states with no increase in drought:
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin
In fact all have seen less drought since 1988. Maybe they need to recall him to testify again and ask him WTF he’s talking about. lol
I think Jim was briefly right in 1999, when he said the 1930′s were warmer than the present. But it made him uncomfortable, so he switched back to delirium.
lol, yes, he does have brief moments of clarity, but, as you stated, he doesn’t like it in reality, so he’s goes back to his delusional state. He even once stated that the soft renewables can’t supply our countries energy needs and anyone believing that it could would believe in the Easter bunny, but , then he went right back to delirium.
