Hansen’s 1988 Testimony

Posted on June 6, 2018 by tonyheller

On June 23, 1988 NASA’s James Hansen gave his famous testimony to Congress which started the global warming scam in earnest. He warned of increasing heat and drought, both of which have dropped off dramatically in the 30 years since.

Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate – The New York Times

Hansen and Senator Tim Wirth cherry-picked a hot day for the testimony, and then sabotaged the air conditioner.

we called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer. Well, it was June 6 or June 9 or whatever it was, so we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo: It was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it. It was stiflingly hot that summer. [At] the same time you had this drought all across the country, so the linkage between the Hansen hearing and the drought became very intense.

… What we did it was went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right?So that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room and so when the, when the hearing occurred there was not only bliss, which is television cameras in double figures, but it was really hot. … So Hansen’s giving this testimony, you’ve got these television cameras back there heating up the room, and the air conditioning in the room didn’t appear to work. So it was sort of a perfect collection of events that happened that day, with the wonderful Jim Hansen, who was wiping his brow at the witness table and giving this remarkable testimony.

Interviews – Timothy Wirth | Hot Politics | FRONTLINE | PBS

June 23, 1988 was one of the last really hot days the US has seen.

Hansen has no clue what he is talking about, but he and Senator Wirth did a great job picking a hot day to start their scam. This is what the US looked like on June 23 last year. Hot in the southwest, and 70 and 80 degree temperatures across most of the US.

In that interview, Wirth[less] was proud of and practically bragging about the AC sabotage.

Probably a crime to damage government property. But Wirth is rescued by the statute of limitations.

A strategy straight out of the Alinsky book. Typical liberals. Facts and the truth don’t matter, and the only thing that’s important is the destruction of capitalist economies and western civilization. Totally disgraceful.

RAH says:

They aren’t liberals. They’re progressive socialists and with that crowd their desired ends always justifies any and all means they use.

Mac says:

June 6, 2018 at 12:44 pm

“Progressive socialist” = liberal. Same animal. They’ve always been sympathetic to socialism, and they’ve always disliked capitalism. They’ve just become more belligerent and radical over time. They’ve always been liars and petulant troublemakers forecasting doom for the planet, and blaming mankind for everything.

Indeed they are not classical liberals

as the original ideology has absolutely nothing in common

with Marxism and all its destructive branches and derivatives(feminism,sjw,AGW) hiding their destructivity behind good intentions.

But the name liberal has been missused hijacked and rebranded.(just as the term gay for example)

A similar fate happened to the original anarchists-

as those were absolutely against a totalitarian hirarchy like

the marxist-communist system .

And the reason why marxist also like call anyone who disagrees an intolerant fascist or nazi is because they themselves intolerant and fascist and the only difference

to a nazi is that nazis are national socialists(of united workers) while communists are international socialists of a

(pretended) worker movement.

arn says:

June 6, 2018 at 12:57 pm

A “science” that has to use sabotage to come into existence and prove its point

is not a science.

When you are rotten since the very beginning (eg. the founder of your cult is a pedophile massmurderer or the creator of your science a saboteur full of failed predictions)

the result will in the end alawys be shit.

Maybe not for those who invented and controle the scam(as those are the ones who benefit from the system)

but for many million others who have to live with the consequences in the real world.

Pretty lame article. As far as they are concerned, if they can’t imagine something, then it can’t possibly happen. Where do they discuss using nuclear energy? And their unspoken premise, that increasing CO2 will inevitably lead to ever increasing temperatures, has never been demonstrated or even adequately justified. But I am sure there are still way too many feeble minded who will read it and be even more certain that this nonsense should inform our public policies.

vballbob says:

June 6, 2018 at 11:00 pm

The article trumpet’s “renewable” energy sources like solar but you never notice that they never mention the scarcity of rare earth elements or the destructive mining needed for acquisition of them if you were to build enough solar panels to carpet the earth. They throw away traditional sources of energy like oil as unsustainable – but without them we may never reach the technological state where fusion, zero point energy, or some other esoteric energy source might be developed. I doubt the authors would throw away their communication devices to save the planet – but would want everyone else to do it.

terak says:

June 6, 2018 at 4:20 pm

Land area of USA is tiny, only 1.7% of the whole area of the planet. Why do you constantly draw wild global conclusions based on such a small area? Smells like fraud.

neal s says:

June 6, 2018 at 4:37 pm

Can you explain why if it were true that the whole world was warming, that we would not see more high temperature days in the summer? It is not like there is a USA sized air-conditioner that is cooling that 1.7% of the planets area.

RAH says:

June 6, 2018 at 4:48 pm

Terak

Tell us where, other than the relatively tiny UK, has as long an complete temperature record as the US? Oh and BTW even officially now the UK doesn’t have as long a record as the US since the UK MET apparently has “lost” it’s data base that went back to 1659 and now is only referencing temps back to 1929.

Gator says:

June 6, 2018 at 5:22 pm

Me Terak thinks that observing the best land based temperature stations in the world is somehow fraud, but that constantly warming the past and cooling the present is sound science.

Obviously she is the product of a public school system.

terak says:

June 6, 2018 at 6:56 pm

The world is warming including the oceans. Perhaps the US is not warming, I have not checked, but at least US glaciers are mostly receding. El Ninos are getting warmer as are the La Ninas and neutral periods. There’s a good chance that an El Nino develops later this year, which means that global temperatures will rise again. No hiatus even though the sun has been getting quieter for years…

arn says:

June 6, 2018 at 7:28 pm

The reason why he is using the USA is neither because this AGW bullshit started in the USA(as the ice age scare did) nor patriotism

but the simple fact that this is the only country with a long enough and reliable track record over the last 100 years

and not some BS which usually starts at the end of the unusually cold 70ies(which were considered proof for the promoted ice age scare)which were cherry picked as starting point + pretending that this unusual cold is some kind of reference climate.

Most of the rest has only little data available.

And this (satellite) data has proven a ‘hiatus’

which was(of course) explained away afterwards(the exact thing one can expect from such people since climate gate 1&2)

Gator says:

June 6, 2018 at 7:47 pm

The world is warming including the oceans…

All perfectly natural, and to be expected in an interglacial.

What is aberrant is the behavior of those who excuse the torture and rape of data in the name of “climate science”.

terak says:

June 7, 2018 at 7:44 am

Gator,

This interglacial had been cooling for millennia before human influence changed the course. Study Milankovic cycles and the like.

ps. there is no published evidence about “data-tampering”. Denialists have failed to deliver.

Gator says:

June 7, 2018 at 10:23 am

Me Terak, I was a climatology student right after the global cooling scare, and right before the great global warming swindle. I have spent decades studying the climate of our planet, and the one thing that is abundantly clear is that man has zero influence on global temperatures.

1- List all climate forcings, order them from most to least effectual, and then quantify them all.

2- Please provide even one peer reviewed paper that refutes natural variability as the cause of recent, or any, global climate changes.

There is nothing unusual or unprecedented about our climate, or how we got here. For 4,500,000,000 years climates have always changed, naturally. This means there has been a set precedent, and the burden of proof falls on natural climate change deniers like yourself....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Wirth

Timothy Endicott Wirth (born September 22, 1939) is a former United States Senator from Colorado. Wirth, a Democrat, was a member of the House from 1975–87 and was elected to the Senate in 1986, serving one term there before stepping down. Additionally, he served both as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education for part of the Nixon Administration and later for the Clinton Administration as the first Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs for the U.S. State Department.^[1] In the State Department, he worked with Vice President Al Gore on global environmental and population issues, supporting the administration's views on global warming. A supporter of the proposed Kyoto Protocol, Wirth announced the U.S.'s commitment to legally binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions. From 1998 to 2013, he served as the president of the United Nations Foundation, and currently sits on the Foundation's board.

Education

Wirth is a graduate of Graland Country Day School (1954) in Denver, CO, and Phillips Exeter Academy. He received his B.A. and graduate degree from Harvard Universityand was awarded a PhD from Stanford University in 1973. He served as a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers.

Family

Wirth is married to Wren Winslow Wirth, the President of the Winslow Foundation; together they have two children, Chris and Kelsey Wirth. Their daughter, Kelsey Wirth, is the co-founder of the orthodontic production company Align Technology, makers of Invisalign ^[2] and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Grist Magazine, The Environmental Working Group and the Winslow Foundation. Their son, Chris Wirth, is founder of Liberty Puzzles, the largest American laser-cut jigsaw puzzle company, based in Boulder, Colorado. His nephew, Peter Wirth, was elected in 2004 to the New Mexico State Legislature. His brother, the late John Wirth, was the Gildred Professor of Latin American Studies at Stanford University. Tim's nephew (John's son) is New Mexico Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth.

Political career

Wirth began his political career as a White House Fellow under President Lyndon Johnson and was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education in the Nixon Administration. In 1970, Wirth returned to Colorado and ran successfully for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974, unseating incumbent Republican Donald G. Brotzman by a 52% to 48% margin. He represented Boulder and the Denver suburbs in Congress from 1975–1987.

As a first term Congressman, Wirth organized the "Freshman Revolt" in 1975 unseating a handful of "old bull" committee chairmen, and encouraging others to be more inclusive. Wirth had a number of difficult reelections during his 12 years in Congress, and raised large sums of money to get reelected. With colleagues Norman Mineta, Leon Panetta and Dick Gephardt, he was part of "The Gang of Four" on the House Budget Committee challenging the budget process with bipartisan budget ideas, and developing a high technology and alternative budget in 1982. As Chair of the Telecommunications Subcommittee, he was the lead legislator in bringing competition to the video and telephone industries. Wirth also authored the Indian Peaks Wilderness Act of 1978.

Senator Wirth reading an issue of *Roll Call* in 1991

In 1986, Wirth ran for the U.S. Senate and on his party's nomination unopposed to replace Sen.Gary Hart. The general election was more difficult than expected, and he defeated fellow U.S. Representative Ken Kramer by a narrow margin.

In the Senate, he focused on environmental issues, particularly global climate change and population stabilization. In 1988, he organized the historic Hansen hearings on climate change. Wirth in an interview to PBS, admitted to staging the hearing by intentionally scheduling it on the historically hottest day of the summer and opening the windows to the hearing room the night before so the air conditioning would not be working.^[3]

With his close friend, the late Senator John Heinz (R-PA), he authored "Project 88", outlining the groundbreaking "Cap and Trade" idea which became law in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. He authored the far-reaching Colorado Wilderness Bill which became law in 1993, and with Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) he authored major legislation focused on population stabilization. Wirth also organized the Senate Task Force on the Expansion of Major League Baseball, which became a major factor in the awarding of a new expansion franchise to Denver. He chose not to run for re-election in 1992, citing in a front page cover story in the Sunday New York Times Magazine (August 9, 1992), frustration with the ever-increasing role of money in politics to the exclusion of focus on public policy.

After Congressional Service

Wirth during the WEF 2011

Following two decades of elected politics, Wirth was national Co-chair of the Clinton-Gore campaign, and served in the U.S. Department of State as the first Undersecretary for Global Affairs from 1993 to 1997. He led U.S. foreign policy in the areas of refugees, population, environment, science, human rights and narcotics. He chaired the United States Delegation at the 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development, and was the lead U.S. negotiator for the Kyoto Climate Conference until he resigned from the Administration in late 1997 to accept Ted Turner's invitation to be President of the newly created United Nations Foundation. As President of the UN Foundation (UNF) from 1998 to 2013, Wirth organized and led the formulation of the Foundation's mission and program priorities, which include the environment, women and population, children's health, and peace, security and human rights. The Foundation also engages in extensive public advocacy, fundraising, and institutional strengthening efforts on behalf of the United Nations. By mobilizing these diverse resources, the UN Foundation works with many public and private partners and manages a variety of campaigns to help solve major problems facing the UN and the world community.^[4]

Timothy Wirth is the Vice Chair of the United Nations Foundation and the Better World Fund. Both organizations were founded in 1998 through a major financial commitment from Ted Turner to support and strengthen the work of the United Nations.

Wirth began his political career as a White House Fellow underPresident Lyndon Johnson and served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education in the Nixon Administration. In 1970, Wirth returned to his home state of Colorado and successfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974. He represented Denver suburbs from 1975-1987. As a first term Congressman, Wirth organized the “Freshman Revolt” in 1975, and with colleagues Norman Mineta, Leon Panetta and Dick Gephardt, he was part of “The Gang of Four” challenging the budget process and developing a high technologyand alternative budget in 1982. As Chair of the Communications Subcommittee, he led Congressional initiatives to deregulate the communications industry in America; his legislation became the template for the court-ordered break-up of the AT&T monopoly, and Wirth’s Cable Television Bill of 1984 restructured the television industry. Wirth also authored the Indian Peaks Wilderness Act of 1978, served on the Speaker’s Steering and Policy Committee, and was one of the founders of The Democratic Leadership Council. For eight consecutive years was selected as one of the 25 most effective Members of Congress.

Wirth was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986 where he focused on environmental issues, particularly global climate change andpopulation stabilization. In 1988, he organized the historicHansen hearings on climate change.

He authored the far-reaching Colorado Wilderness Bill which became law in 1993, and with Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) as a co-sponsor, he authored major legislation focused on population stabilization.

In Colorado, Wirth organized the Senate Task Force on the Expansion of Major League Baseball, which became a major factor in the awarding of a new expansion franchise to Denver. He led the effort to gain extensive federal funding for the new Denver Airport, and initiated the successful water policy that obviated plans for the Two Forks Dam. He chose not to run for re-election in 1992, citing in a front page cover story in the Sunday New York Times Magazine (August 9, 1992), frustration with the ever increasing role of money in politics to the exclusion of focus on public policy.

The Foundation also engages in extensive public advocacy, fundraising, and institutional strengthening efforts on behalf of the United Nations. By mobilizing these diverse resources, the UN Foundation works with many public and private partners and manages a variety of campaigns to help solve major problems facing the UN and the world community, including:

Polio: Mobilizing resources in support of the eradication of polio (working with Rotary International, the Gates Foundation, and the World Bank);
Measles: Initiating a global campaign to diminish the impact of measles (with the American Red Cross, the Centers for Disease Control and UN Agencies);
Malaria: Stimulating a nationwide grassroots program for the purchase of anti-malaria bed nets (“Nothing But Nets”) with many partners (including the World Health Organization and the National Basketball Association);
Girls: Organizing support for the special needs of adolescent girls within the UN (with Nike, many private sector partners, and lead UN Agencies); and launched a new global program, Girl Up (with the Global Business Council, MTV Networks, and the WNBA);
Population: Supporting the United Nations Population Fund, and working with Congress to increase U.S. funding and bring greater focus to AIDS prevention;
Tourism: Developing standards for better managing tourism’s impact on the environment and contribution to climate change in close partnership with UNESCO and industry leaders;
Climate: Leading work to develop the UN framework for the post-Kyoto climate negotiations through a close partnership with the UN’s leadership and retired heads of State throughout the world (The Club of Madrid);
Agriculture: Managing a public-private effort with major segments of the agriculture community and UN agencies for better understanding of the promise, challenge and economics of bioenergy; and
Energy: Advancing aggressive standards for energy efficiency in the U.S. and abroad, through the Foundation’s Energy Future Coalition, and the Turner Foundation. Working with UN Energy toward a global campaign for energy access for all.

Prior to entering politics, Wirth was in private business in Colorado. The son of teachers, he was a scholarship student and graduate of Harvard College, served as a Harvard “Baby Dean” after graduation, and received a Ph.D. from Stanford University. The recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, he also served as a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he was recently honored as a Champion of the Earth by the United Nations Environment Programme. Wirth is married to Wren Wirth, the President of the environmentally oriented Winslow Foundation; they have two grown children and five grandchildren.

The Temple of Understanding, "A Global Interfaith Organization" at the United Nations, is a "non-governmental organization in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council" (UNESC).[1]

[hide]

History

The Temple's web site states that it was "founded in 1960 by Juliet Hollister, a housewife who had a peanut butter sandwich lunch with a friend and shared her vision of a world in which the many religious traditions of today would come together in dialogue rather than conflict. Her idea, though simple, was so powerful that humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer in the Congo and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt soon became her advocates." Its mission - "to promote understanding among the world's religions, to recognize the oneness of the human family and to achieve 'A Spiritual United Nations'" - has since gained wide support amongst religous leaders including Pope John XXIII and the Dalai Lama and other prominent representatives of the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and other faiths.[2]

"The organization was founded in 1960 by a pioneering visionary, Juliet Hollister, with the support of a distinguished group of “Founding Friends,” which included Eleanor Roosevelt, Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Sir Zafrula Khan, H.H. Pope John XXIII, Anwar al-Sadat and H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama, among others." ^[1]

According to the Temple's website, it has recently concentrated on participating in briefings, meetings and conferences at the United Nations and "interfaith education." It is a member of the broad-based Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations. [3]

The Temple's work - such as in promoting greater religious community support for the protection of the environment - has been attacked by conservative organisations such as the Environmental Conservation Organization, a "property rights group" from the US that rails against "excessive environmental regulations." [4] Other conservative groups, such as the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute complained about the promotion of the Earth Charter at a conference organized by the Temple of Understanding. [5] Some **:{conspiracy theorists:(style="background-color:#fff200"):}:**, who oppose the United Nations for being a part of what they claim is a campaign for "one world government," have also criticised the Temple of Understanding because of its close ties to the UN.**:{[6]:(style="background-color:#fff200"):}:**, **:{[7]:(style="background-color:#fff200"):}:**, **:{[8]:(style="background-color:#fff200"):}:**,**:{[9]:(style="background-color:#fff200"):}:**
