NASA’s James Hansen gets dissed by global warming establishment! Warmists Say Sea Level Rise study based on ‘flimsy evidence’ & ‘rife with speculation’

July 2015: Former NASA lead global warming scientist James Hansen's new sea level rise scare study gets 'cold shoulder' from climate establishment.
Warmist AP climate reporter Seth Borenstein said he 'would not cover' Hansen's paper.
UN IPCC Lead Author Kevin Trenberth calls Hansen's study 'rife with speculation and 'what if' scenarios' and based on 'flimsy evidence.'
NYT's Andrew Revkin: "Associated Press, The New York Times, the BBC and The Guardian..among those who steered clear of [Hansen] study"
Even Michael Mann admits Hansen's sea level rise estimates are 'prone to a very large 'extrapolation error'
Former Top NASA Scientist James Hansen Predicts Catastrophic Rise In Sea Levels – ‘Projects sea levels rising as much as 10 feet in the next 50 years.’ – The paper has already ruffled some, including Associated Press science writer Seth Borenstein, who said on Twitter that he would not cover it — primarily because it had not yet been peer-reviewed, a process that allows other scientists to critique the work. The Washington Post’s Chris Mooney asked other climate experts to weigh in on the paper. While many said it raised key discussion points, Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research called it “provocative and intriguing but rife with speculation and ‘what if’ scenarios.”

Rebuttal: Examination of the data from the paper, however, shows the range of proxy sea levels is approximately 10 meters, far too large to discern the tiny ~1.5 mm/yr sea level rise over the past 150 years. The authors instead assume from other published studies of tide gauge measurements that the ~1.5 mm/yr sea level rise over the past 150+ years began at that point in time. Other papers find sea levels rising only 1.1-1.3 mm/yr over the past 203 years, and without acceleration.
