To reach their conclusions, the researchers analyzed nearly 30 years of observational temperature and precipitation data and also used computer model simulations that considered soil, atmospheric, and oceanic conditions and
projected changes in greenhouse gases.

I don't think anyone denies that the sun matters for climate, but the question is whether the variability of the sun
in recent history has had the impact that we
project from
greenhouse gases over the next 100 — and there, I think, a majority of your «AGW» ers» would think the evidence suggests that
changes in human forcing will likely be several times (at least) larger than any solar variability we've seen
in a thousand years or more.

Accordingly, unless action is taken to reduce global
greenhouse gas emissions, climate
change could cut the
projected improvement
in food availability by approximately a third by 2050, which
in turn would lead to average per - person reductions

The United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing
greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases
in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature
in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of
change of temperature
in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising
greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at
projected rates
in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions
in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting
in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions
in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.
-- The term «impact evaluation» means the evaluation of the program or

Though the EPA is correct, thought the details I am unsure, It is very likely that if
in the future that is Emissions of

By contrast,
projecting the likely average state of the climate (e.g., the
change in typical wintertime temperature) ahead to 2040 depends most on external factors such as the concentrations of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which
in turn depends mainly on how society chooses to derive energy.
Changes in atmospheric composition and chemistry over the past century have affected, and those
projected into the future will affect, the lifetimes of many
greenhouse gases and thus alter the climate forcing of anthropogenic emissions:
Presenting such alternative figures confuses and undermines the public understanding of the actual science, which is an understanding about the driving mechanisms of sea level rise: thermal expansion of ocean water, melting of mountain glaciers and complex dynamics of large ice sheets —
in correspondence again with
projected temperature rise, that is
in turn a product of
projected rises of
greenhouse gas concentrations using calculated estimates of climate sensitivity, together creating a net disturbance
in Earth's energy balance, the very root cause of anthropogenic climate
change.
These moist enthalpy - related studies confirm previous results showing that
changes in vegetation cover, surface moisture and energy fluxes generally lead to significant climatic
changes (e.g. 41 - 43) and responses which can be of a similar magnitude to that
projected for future
greenhouse gas concentrations (44, 45).
Although
projected increases
in greenhouse gas concentrations caused by fossil fuel combustion are expected to dominate 21st century climate
change, some studies suggest that anthropogenic land use may yet be at least as important and may remain so
in the near future (8).
Traditionally, climate - model projections have only accounted for external forcings, such as man - made
