Reading Hansen

Dear Tenney and all:

Think I've learned how to create a new 'post', like a thread I suppose.

Here I'd like to emphasize the importance, IMO, of reading James Hansen's posts on his site:

http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/

I've skimmed:

and

http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2009/20090713_Strategies.pdf

For me Hansen's approach works far better than, say, books without figures. I know Tenney likes Hansen.

Does anyone else think his style is clear enough for the general public? Isn't?

  1. IMNSHO this time he got it about right -- he really took out a bunch of technical stuff, and at least to me, it is highly readable.

    There is one spot about a third of the way through that has maybe too many numbers, but after that he simplies it again until the end.
