Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:Did you even read that? I don't think it means what you think it means...


Here's another one from the same year:

<a class="bbc_url" href='http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ip07000h.html'>http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ip07000h.html</a>
 

From my link:


 

Quote: 

 

The energy budget of the most recent decade does, however, indicate a lower range of values for the more policy-relevant transient climate response (the temperature increase at the point of doubling of the atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration following a linear ramp of increasing greenhouse gas forcing) than the range obtained by either analysing the energy budget of earlier decades or current climate model simulations.
 

Translating that into English, it says that the temperature increase from CO2 based on actual measurements is less that previous estimates based on theory. It doesn't say how much less in the abstract, but it's about half. So based on the current 'consensus science' the predictions of future climate change are much less dire, which is what I've been saying all along.


 

That goes along with your link which states that 'more than half' (51% ?) of the warming since 1950 is from humans, leaving a lot of the warming due to other causes. That also makes sense with what we've observed, since an 18 year pause proves that other factors are at least as strong as CO2 in changing the global temperature.
