Please. I never said he was responsible for the article.

It all goes back to a NYTimes article highlighting a hypothesis outlined in a science journal. The author used a climate model developed by hansen to study the clouds of VENUS, for part of the data he used to develop the hypothesis.

My question to Hasen - why did you allow your work to be used in the manner in which it was used? Did you agree with its use? Did you allow its use? Did you support the conclusions drawn from its use? Was it used inappropriately to draw erroneous conclusions? Were you aware it was being used? Etc, Etc., Etc, I think he was aware and I think he cooperated with the study and supported its conclusions. I have not seen anything to disprove my thought, and I asked if there has been something, and I get non-responsive comments. So I further believe there has not been anything published reconciling the issue. Then I suggest for him to step forward and address the issue. What is the big deal?

You are asking someone to explain a hypothesis he never forwarded.

He is the (or "a") leading authority on "global warming". And as the leading authority isn't it reasonable to expect him to be able to address various theories? Especially, theories his work helped shape. Now he has the view that in 9 years the damage we do will not be able to be corrected, almost like saying the world as we know it will end in 9 years. All I want to do is debate the issue. So, redirecting the issue back to me does not mean the questions will not go away. They won't go away even if we stop our exchange. It goes back to the pat response of - how dare someone question the overwhelming scientific data that says humans are responsible for climate change on this planet. Forgive me for for not "buying it" without question and the desire to understand how people came to their conclusions. Perhaps more people around here should start reading footnotes and take an interest in methodology before drawing conclusions.
