By the way Steven Goddard is a pseudonym for a blogger who gets it wrong so often even progs mate, Anthony Watts, has given up on him.
Hansen is of course the James E. Hansen who heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He has held this position since 1981. He is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University.
Hansen was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1996 for his "development of pioneering radiative transfer models and studies of planetary atmospheres; development of simplified and three-dimensional global climate models; explication of climate forcing mechanisms; analysis of current climate trends from observational data; and projections of anthropogenic impacts on the global climate system." In 2006, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) selected James Hansen to receive its Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility "for his courageous and steadfast advocacy in support of scientists' responsibilities to communicate their scientific opinions and findings openly and honestly on matters of public importance."
In 2007, Hansen shared the US $1-million Dan David Prize for "achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact on our world". In 2008, he received the PNC Bank Common Wealth Award of Distinguished Service for his "outstanding achievements" in science.
In 2009, Hansen was awarded the 2009 Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Meteorological Society, for his "outstanding contributions to climate modeling, understanding climate change forcings and sensitivity, and for clear communication of climate science in the public arena."
Hansen is a man worth listening to. He is a man of intellect and integrity.

Yeh we see that in scenario A, B and C. We see that in 2006 2 degrees warmer. We see that in the no temperature data in the
Arctic, so lets make some up. We see that in the cooling the past and warming the present. We see that in Antarctica not losing 40% of ice.
The guy could not predict himself farting within 5 milliseconds of the event.
BTW Steven Goddard goes by the predictions. He goes by the data. And you, you got nothing on him because the data is correct and the predictions he goes off were predicted.
