If you imagine we didn't have the hockey stick up from around 1900 (industrial revolution), the climate in the northern hemisphere would be very cold by now.
Life would be cold and miserable the elderly would be dead from the effects of freezing winters.
There has been absolutely no downward trend in precipitation on mainland Europe. Where are the water shortages I would expect to see here in mainland Europe?, apart from Spain which always has been patially a desert?
As for the heatwave in Russia. Did you notice there was no heatwave in France or Italy? No the hot patch caused by Arctic blocking (weather pattern) was Eastwards. The heatwave was unusual because it was further East. Just a few miles away from the hotspot is was colder than average.
By the way you forgot to mention that the glaciers in the Himalayas will have disappeared in 2035, that the Hudson River would be two metres higher by 2010, that Arctic would be ice free by 2013, and that commercial shipping would be traversing the Arctic by 2010. That the only inhabitable continent would be Antarctica, which would incidentally require a 60 dgree rise in temperature.
I find these claims highly amusing, but they don´t have much to do with reality.
Environmentalists are reponsible for the deaths of millions of people from malaria, due to "succesfully" having DDT banned, to protect wild flowers.
I suspect if they get their way millions more will die from their Geoengineering projects.

Good rant, most of it irrelevant to the discussion, with the hysterical and shrill tone of someone going "la la la la stop showing me all the evidence, I prefer my own unsubstantiated, ignorant and frankly ill-educated vapouring to real data".
James Hansen´s prediction is the just one of the many rediculous predictions that scientists make to jounalists, rather like the ice berg from Antarctica floating across the equator and stopping the Gulf stream or perhaps you remember this one:

The article has the headline "Snowfall now just a thing of the past" whereas the scientists quoted says "snowfall will become a rare event". So the journalist got the gist of it wrong.
