RE: What you find is

'His 2-3 degree temperature rise estimate for a ten year period is not supported by fact'

once again E-Stat, he didn't estimate or predict a 2 > 3 temperature rise over a decade ... as I stated, this NASA climatologist issued a warning that if certain condition are met, other conditions COULD follow

similar to the WARNINGS, not predictions, you received from Mom & Dad in your youth that unprotected sex COULD lead to unwanted pregnancies or STD's or both

now, you may have tested those warnings and remained free of disease and / or without unwanted pregnant women requiring your attention, but I'm sure
you wouldn't fault them for a WARNING based on confirmed science that if the conditions leading to those consequences were in place [ovulation, healthy sperm, a disease] you COULD be dealing with consequences

I think this an entirely apt metaphor

just because those things didn't happen if those conditions weren't met that gave rise to the warning, would you deny the warning was valid and continue to have unprotected sex? I'm thinking probably not ... after 60 days or so you'd breath a sigh of relief your junk didn't change colors while you pissed lava and that one night stand wasn't banging on your door having missed a period

'Hint: return to the article and look at logo at top left. If that doesn't answer your'

well, no it doesn't ... I followed all URL links and none of them lead to Hansen's actual remarks that were made at that 2006 conference as I had requested ... only to where the reporters 'piece' was published ... a search revealed it was reproduced several places though

anyway, as earlier stated it would be to your benefit to be able to tell the differences between warning and prediction since they're very different ... it would also be of utility for you to be able to understand that when words have been substituted with synonyms / antonyms that this can recast their intended meaning out of context either with purpose or otherwise let alone entire dissertations being re-characterized in order to build strawman arguments ... well, obviously you do know that last one

so, good talk ... glad we could come together on this for a teachable moment
