If the science were as certain as climate activists pretend, then there would be precisely one climate model, and it would be in agreement with measured data.

The IPCC structure was designed to ensure one outcome warming due to human CO2. Working Group I of the IPCC is limited by definition and terms of reference to that result.

Although the four data sets employed in this study all show short-term accelerations in sea level rise near the end of the 20th century, the century as a whole was one of decelerating sea level rise, which is not exactly in harmony with the climate-alarmist contention that the 20th century experienced a warming that ro... | 1_6 |

In summary, the GMT data for the last 130 years does not show any evidence of accelerated warming due to human emission of CO2.
