i give it 10 years before we have any real clue as to what actually is going on with climate change, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was 50.
Back in the '80's, Hansen said it would be 10 years before it was clear. Then in the '90's, it was another 10 years. I guess these guys think it's clear right now. To me and many others, it's not.
Lindzen of MIT said that in 20 years, shen none of the dire predictions come true, nobody will be talking about it at all, and looking back on it, everyone will think we were crazy to be so hysterical about AGW in the early 21st century.
Let us not forget that Hansen was one of the original IMPENDING ICE AGE RAGERS in the early 70's.
Lindzen has consistently been a voice of reason regarding this whole issue since he rose up back in the 80's countering Hansen's cries of "Hot" doom.
