I'll try to explain the major points:<br /><br />1. Hansen attributes warming slower than the 1990s, in part, to human produced aerosols (SO2) etc. Unfortunately, the aerosols only delay warming, not prevent it. <br /><br />2. Hansen notes that CO2 fraction has decreased. This doesn't mean the overall amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has decreased. CO2 burden is now over 396 ppm and rising. Fraction decrease simply means more CO2 is going into sinks. But the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase is still rising. <br /><br />3. Hansen notes that the rate of GHG forcing growth is about level (less than 70s and 80s). But GHG forcing is still growing and pushing the climate to a warmer state. <br /><br />4. Hansen notes that there is enough forcing in the atmosphere to double the current temp increase from .8 C to 1.6 C. And that is without continuously increasing human CO2 GHG emissions. <br /><br />5. Hansen recommends that most fossil fuels remain in the ground. And clearly shows there is ample fossil fuel carbon to wreck the climate. <br /><br />6. Hansen does note that the most recent report contains a bit more 'good news' like less GHG forcing growth than expected and some slowing of the pace of warming (not cooling as deniers like to claim). But Hansen does not use this to make the conclusions often foisted here (that would urge a continuation of business as usual carbon emissions). Instead he presses to urgently reduce and phase out the use of fossil fuels. <br /><br />7. Hansen notes that it will be very difficult to keep warming below the safe limit of 2 degrees C. <br /><br />So, overall, I don't see any so-called mea culpa. I do see a lot of you guys completely misreading Hansen's statements. But that's not much of a surprise. I guess the one good thing coming from all this is the fact that we will have a few more years to try to convince you deniers to do the right thing. Hopefully...

The "aerosols" are expected to cause cooling by sunlight refection. <br /><br />In addition Hansen evidently suggests that CO2 from coal increased forestation and thereby increased sunlight absorbance on the Earth's surface, thus reducing the infra red light absorbed by CO2 in the atmosphere. <br /><br />Neither condition has ever been verified by satellite measurements. If aerosol played any role, it would have to be a significant correction to temperature measurements made by satellite in the IR and ground based temperature measurement. <br /><br />Moreover the natural variation of albedo of the Earth's surface is far larger than any "forcing" by greenhouse gas that Hansen can account for. All Hansen's predictions are based on a constant albedo, but the variation of that is larger than Hansen's temperature variations by "forcing."
