You make a good point and that is the point at issue. Many take the position that global warming and its causes are now factual and that the question is no longer open to continued discussion. I respect a person who can change their view given new information. I think Hansen has an opportunity to explain how new information lead him to a new conclusion and what was faulty in his original assessment of the information available. I Have not seen where he has done that, have you?
