We don't have to wait and see. There is ZERO chances of Bastardi being right about that one. On the other hand - not a single climate scientist has yet made a prediction that failed.

Yes, yes, Hanson and 20 years and New York under water... except that 'prediction' never happened. Hanson said "IF nothing changes in emmissions, New York will be flooded in 40 years". That's TWICE the timeline of what was falsely reported, and with a major caveat that wasn't reported - and which, coincidentally - doesn't hold true.

In this case it wasn't even propaganda, just simple human error. A Journalist at slate phoned the author ofthe book who had interviewed Hanson when that quote was made and asked him about the interview for a story. He heard the timeline wrong over the phone, and left out the caveat as he, being a mere journalist, simply didn't understand it's importance. 

But then, you know all about journalists not understanding climate science. You're a walking example of it.
