The endangerment decision has a number of serious flaws. The agency decided to rely on existing reports, primarily that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

If I take the average annual increment from 1958-1981 and increase it by 1.5% per year until 2008, I get 385.35 ppmv. The Mauna Loa Observatory's value for 2008 is 385.57 ppmv. | 0_0 |

The downbeat attitude was further reinforced with the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s. It was widely understood that this represented the death of socialism's traditional conceptions.

There was a cooling scare in the early 1970s at the end of the last cooling phase. The current global warming alarm is based on the last warming oscillation, from 1975 to 2001.
