Here is a larger quote from Dr Roy Spencers website......
"...My main point is that nothing stands in the way of a popular theory (e.g. global warming) better than failed forecasts. We are
now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard
reality of observations. A few of us are not that surprised, as we always distrusted the level of faith that climate modelers had in
their understanding of the causes of climate change.
I continue to suspect that, in the coming years, scientists will increasingly realize that more CO2 in the atmosphere is, on the
whole, good for life on Earth. Given that CO2 is necessary for life, and that nature continues to gobble up 50% of the CO2 we
produce as fast as we can produce it, I won’t be that surprised when that paradigm shift occurs, either...."...
Yep...he was quoted accurately......
Temperature data from four international science institutions. All show rapid warming in the past few decades and that the last decade has been the warmest on record.

Old out dated quote perhaps? "
Really DLA? Hansen retired from NASA in April 2013, and you have no reservations quoting his (NASA) data, selectively, from the past!
DLA: ".your quote from James E. Hansen - We can predict with confidence that the next decade will be warmer than the last."" appears in a 1971 Washington Post article that warns of an impending ice age within 50 years".
Actually the Post article included: "The scientist was S.I. Rasool, a colleague of Mr. Hansen's at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration"
That was as close as Hansen came to contributing to the article, being mentioned as "a colleague" So please provide a link to your 1971 source as all I have is:
(Hansen et al., 1999a) ".....that the next decade will be warmer than the 1990s....."
AFP Washington Jan 15, 2013
"James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said it was likely that an upcoming year would break the record high global temperature set in 2010."
"Therefore we can predict with confidence that the next decade is going to be warmer than the last one," he said."
Voice of America/ News / Science & Technology Jan 2013:
"The planet is out of balance," says James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. "There is more energy coming in than going out. And, therefore, we can predict with confidence that the next decade is going to be warmer than the last one."
Either the above organisations are printing "outdated quotes from 1971 " DLA, your research is lacking, or you are being selective (or both!), and IF the quote possibly was first uttered in 1971, and now in 2013 it would indicate the reliability of the prediction then, and by extension, now!DLA, A checkable reference to your 1971 source and a suitable excerpt would confirm my above view.

....oh I see...you can post old James Hansen quotes...however, I can't .........how very you!
Also..... If you had done your research.... You would have realised he is not the Director of NASA's Goddard Institute...
....lol....still no cigar......
Oh here is another picture of him being arrested.....
Alarmism is crashing alright.

people protesting and getting arrested; there is no shame in having principles and be prepared to publicly declare them
