Father of Global Warming’ Scientist Finally Admits Theory Is Wrong
The article expands on this by claiming that the inaccurate analysis "has received Hansen’s backing", and that Hansen admitted he was "‘devastated’ by the way his data has been used by climate alarmists". No source is provided for these statements. The headline of the Western Journal commentary claimed "Father of Global Warming’s Theory Devastated by Actual Data", but there is no quote in which Hansen supports this claim. The only Hansen quote in any of these articles is taken from an article published by the Associated Press, which was titled "James Hansen wishes he wasn’t so right about global warming". In this article, Hansen says, "I don’t want to be right in that sense," in the context of his accurate projections of the warming that has now occurred. So the other statement attributed to Hansen by the NewsPunch and Principia Scientific article—that he "finally admits theory is wrong"—is also invented, as Hansen did not say this.
