Global Warming and the stupidity of (wo)man

[mheslep]

...For instance in 1988 Hansen predicted a temperature rise of about one degree celsius by now.

and http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/hadcrut3gl.txt

See the averages of the last few years:
2006 - 0.422
2007 - 0.405
2008 - 0.324

And 0.370 for January 2009.

Note that scenario A is predicted by Hansen's model given his preconditions:
A: "the assumed annual growth averages about 1.5% of current emissions, so the net greenhouse forcing increases exponentially". Emissions have increased by that and more, so A is his predicted model.
