Read here . Almost all scientists agree that an increase in atmospheric CO2 will only raise global temperatures from 1.0 to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The IPCC is well aware of this established science, so they had scientists add a hypothetical positive feedback to the climate models, which would then produce predictions of ... | 3_1 |

What is indisputable is that storms do much more damage than in the past.

Like the pagans of old thought they could appease the angry gods or win their favor through sacrificing the things most dear to them ? their livestock, and if that didn?t work, human beings, even their own children ? so it appears that Global Warmingism demands that we sacrifice.

Even after these tweaks, the backcasts were still coming out too high.
