Hanson is a bit of a quack...............and Lovelock was indeed correct back then. Earth DOES have the ability to heal itself over time.

The gloomsters are doing nothing but making us look like a bunch of 'Chicken Littles'. You ever wonder why the GW deniers have been so successful over the past decade or so? It's not just oil money and constant streams of propaganda. The gloom-and-doom people on OUR side have done a lot of damage as well.

It's time to start ignoring the 'Cascade effects' morons and instead start trying to find other spokesmen who can truly wake us up.

There isn't going to be Hanson-style runaway warming or sudden flips. Both of these are not only plain bullshit but they're scaring away a lot of people who would otherwise be open to the fact that global warming is indeed a serious issue.

Right now, 'doom-and-gloom' theories are the LAST f***ing thing we need.
