In truth, sea - level rise and greater frequency of storms are higher -
order results of global warming, in that they would require several links in a causal chain to be proved.

of atmospheric CO2 will
result in a surface temperature change on the
order of 1 °C or less, and that therefore
global warming is nothing to worry about.

results on the bottom
of the first table (on maximum temperatures), clearly showed a drop in the speed
of warming that started around 38 years ago, and continued to drop every other period I looked / /... 5) I did a linear fit, on those 4
results for the drop in the speed
of global maximum temps, versus time, ended up with y = 0.0018 x -0.0314, with r2 = 0.96 At that stage I was sure to know that I had hooked a fish: I was at least 95 % sure (max) temperatures were falling 6) On same maxima data, a polynomial fit,
of 2nd
order, i.e. parabolic, gave me y = -0.000049 × 2 + 0.004267 x — 0.056745 r2 = 0.995 That is very high, showing a natural relationship, like the trajectory
of somebody throwing a ball... 7) projection on the above parabolic fit backward, (10 years?)

results to support the climate change theory in
order to protect their research funding» and adds, «Sounds plausible to us.»
