"you can’t expect them to do simple arithmetic can you?"

No.

The false Climate vs. weather dichotomy has always been keystone of the failed Global Warming (aka "Change") cult.

If you can't reliably model and calculate small numbers like the weather trends 2 or 4 or 20 days from now, you can never calculate the large numbers or predict trends 2 or 4 or 20 decades from now.

If your model only gets 2+2=4 less than 5 % of the time adding exponentially more digits and operators won't improve your accuracy.

Hansen is a loony soy-boy. I believe it isn’t the cows but soy-boys like Gates and Hansen increasing greenhouse gasses. Their geoengineering strategies are bizarre and more likely to be our undoing. https://www.newsweek.com/james-hansens-new-climate-warning-controversial-plan-cool-planet-1840385

There is one scientific exponential law underlying this mess.

Parkinson's law: BUREAUCRACIES GROW.

The only goal of a bureaucracy is to increase its budget and authority exponentially. Fake panic is a time-tested growth hormone for budget and power. Redefining words and numbers is another hormone. If the current numbers aren't making enough panic, change the equations and multipliers, or change the test threshold, until you get enough panic. Works every time.

It’s good that at least some of the usual suspects are acknowledging the (short-term) climate-impacting reality of Hunga-Tonga. That will help to force the corrupt Met Office to admit their cover-up.

I doubt it, they're too far gone.

Maybe he can join Mann and Attenborough and shove Mann's "hockey stick" up their collective arses.

I’d like to see the chart on that. Velocity vs length.
