For example, 18 years of sea level measurements from satellites suggested a trend of 3.2 mm per year until a drop in 2010, attributed to a shift from El Nio to La Nia, neither event accepted by the IPCC as a cause of climate change.

And this wasn't your everyday increase. Oil reserves skyrocketed in Canada by 35 times their original amount.

Again, there almost certainly is a warming trend since 1850, and some of that trend is probably due to manmade CO2, but sensitivities in most forecasts that get attention in the media are way too high. A tenth of a degree C per decade over the next 100 years from manmade CO2 seems a reasonable planning number. | 3_1 |
