Using the
IPCC climate sensitivity of 3.2 C, the CO2 level by 2100 would need to double by 2100, from today's 392 to 784 ppmv, to reach this

The 1,018 - page report convincingly and systematically challenges
IPCC claims that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing «dangerous» global
warming and climate change; that
IPCC computer models can be relied on for alarming climate forecasts and
scenarios; and that we need to take immediate, drastic action to prevent «unprecedented» climate and weather events that are no more frequent or unusual than what humans have had to adapt to and deal with for thousands of years.
As can be seen from the graph, the
