James Hansen making things clearer regarding widespread misconceptions
This letter of clarification from Dr. James Hansen seems to me a public document; one that will probably be widely misrepresented in short order, by folks who go to any length to distract from our real challenges.
While there is no denying that some respectable experts have their disagreements with Dr. Hansen's assessment. That dialogue is continuing with scientific study, papers, peer review and much discussion among the community of experts. It should be seen as the science being alive and well. The serious debate continues healthy as ever, among the serious experts - and every year brings a bit more clarity.
Through all this we the people need to understand, that scientific debate revolves around nuances that are dwarfed by all climatologists do understand... supported by all that's been observed these past decades.
Below I have copied and reposted the complete text from
James Hansen's April 15, 2013 statement.

More videos: "The Machinery of Climate Anti-Science" plus...
Here are three more videos -
I'm including these because I believe they are must-listening for folks wanting to gain a better understanding of the sustained attacks climate scientists have been enduring.

It's Not About The Hockey Stick

Dear Skeptic: Can you outline the issues that need to be debated?
Dear Society Driven Global Warming Skeptic: Can you outline the issues that need to be debated?
Of late, skeptics such as Dr. Spencer, Anthony Watts, Mr. McIntyre, etc... et al.
Have been displaying great indignation that genuine practicing scientists and other climate experts refuse to "debate" with them.
~ ~ ~
In traveling around the blogosphere I read comments from many sincere folks who mirror Mr. Watts' vocal and melodramatic indignation over at WattsUpWithThat.com.
And me,
I wonder,
in light of the past decades of the experts debating,
and challenging each other -
and in light of all we have observed,
and all we have learned regarding the physics:
What is it that the Dr. Spencers and Anthony Watts of the world want to debate anyways?
=========================================
Dear Skeptic,
can you outline the issues regarding our current society driven global warming knowledge that needs to be debated?

NASA: Earth From Space (HD)
NASA: "An epic quest to discover the invisible forces and occurrences that sustain life
on this planet and - for the first time -
see these processes in action in EARTH FROM SPACE.
This sweeping special reveals Earth's deepest mysteries,
captured in breath-taking detail, and raises profound questions
and challenges the old assumptions of how it all works.
Using the latest CGI technology, and joining NASA and the world's foremost Earth scientists,
EARTH FROM SPACE transforms raw satellite data into a visible spectrum,
offering viewers authentic, high-definition moving images
that vividly illustrate these processes at work.

Glen Gerberg Weather and Climate Summit - January 2013
The Weather and Climate Summit was established in 1985
to bring together television weathercasters and meteorologists
from top U.S. and Canadian markets with leading scientists and researchers.
This summit allows for dynamic and frequent interchange
between the media and scientists in order to foster improved
communication and collaboration between these diverse professions.

The Fingerprints of Sea Level Change
Dr. Mitrovica does a wonderful job of explaining new findings regarding the interactions between melting ice sheets; gravity; and surface rebound which have enabled scientists to better estimate regional sea level rise for various geophysical scenarios.
Another interesting source for lectures by scientists and experts,

Jerry Mitrovica: The Fingerprints of Sea Level Change... the video
I took a break from the nightmares of the Echo-chamber to get back to a little fun science and Earth observations.
Besides, I've been meaning to share this video since first watching it last year. Here is some very interesting and relatively new scientific understanding regarding sea levels and the changes we might come to expect.
