#5 James Hansen también predijo en los ochenta que en 2024 pasaríamos más calor de lo habitual pero nadie le hizo caso porque sus dibujos parecían demasiado pesimistas y eso crearía alarmismo
In a 2004 presentation at the University of Iowa, Hansen announced that he was told by high-ranking government officials not to talk about how anthropogenic influence could have a dangerous effect on climate because it was not understood what 'dangerous' meant, or how humans were actually affecting climate. He described this as a Faustian bargain because atmospheric aerosols had health risks, and should be reduced, but doing so would effectively increase the warming effects from CO2.
