2005 was close to the hottest in 100K years. BTW, after he said that, Kyoto was passed, and some countries actually started reducing their footprint. Good thing they listened to him.

>> That also means 2014 was likely the hottest the Earth has been in millennia, and perhaps as much as 100,000 years.

For someone like me, who really doesn't follow this issue, the above statement appears to represent a non-sequitur.

Can you explain to me the rationale that allows you to conclude, assuming arguendo, that 2014 was the hottest the Earth has been in millennia, how one concludes it is the hottest in 100,000 years?

Hansen's prediction failed. I don't know of any of his predictions that haven't failed.

He "predicted" 2014 would be the hottest year ever in 2012 though. He also "predicted" at the time that 2015 would be even hotter. He knew his handpicked replacement would make it happen. Mann-made global warming.
