Energy news to know today ...

Biographical spotlight:
​james hansen

On June 23, 1988 (thirty years ago), in testimony to Congress, James Hansen -- NASA's top scientist -- said that the world was getting warmer. When pressed for more details, he predicted that 1988 would be the hottest year on record.  Pressed for more, Dr. Hansen showed a series of GISS model projections of continued global warming and then said, in no uncertain terms, "the world will continue to warm each year going forward."  When asked why, he confessed his uncertainty but speculated that "perhaps burning of fossil fuels might be releasing heat-trapping gases."
 
The basis of Hansen's testimony came from his 1988 study of three different scenarios were used - essentially, a high, middle and low estimate bracketed the set of possibilities. Hansen specifically stated on record that he thought the middle scenario (B) the “most plausible”.  

Three decades later, most climate scientists rave about the accuracy of Hansen’s predictions and observed data given the technology of the time.  AES can provide access to hindcast comparisons between Hansen's model and the historical data. 

Even the popular press understood that import of Hansen's work; AES can provide access to a reprint of the story.

Note: One of the first projections of future warming came from John Sawyer at the UK’s Met Office in 1973. In a paper published in Nature in 1973, he speculated that the world would warm 0.6° C between 1969 and 2000, and that atmospheric CO2 would increase by 25% -- his warming estimate of 0.6° C was nearly spot on.
