anthropogenic warming very likely slightly or moderately outedges natural warming compared with 200 years ago, and if Europe had not cleaned up its act a little and temperatures were 0.2 C

emissions will warm the
lower atmosphere, which will then result in a subsequent warming of Earth's surface.
Interestingly, Penner et al. find that whether the climate sensitivity parameter is on the
low or high end, reducing
anthropogenic emissions of the short - lived warming pollutants would achieve a significant reduction in
global warming over the next 50 - 100 years.
