Actually, it is more like 0.6 degrees, but through the magic of compounding unrealistic assumptions, they are projecting much acceration in the increase so that we will see 2.5-10 degree warming in the next century. Of course they are virtually 100% certain of this.

That's the theory. But we will never know until the earth warms back up to what is normal. "Normal" was no ice at the north pole, with lush tropical forrests within the entire artic circle, forrests teaming with elephants, rhino's hippo's tigers etc. that were there only 4,500 years ago.

Of course the atmosphere was much more humid than it is now, which kept the earth's temperature regulated as well as blocking much more of solar radiation than it does now.

“We already know that the coming report — the fourth by the UN in 15 years — will say that maximum projected temperatures over the next century will not be nearly as high as projected in the last report in 2001; that man has contributed less to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than originally thought; and that sea level rise will be only a few inches, rather than the several feet once thought.”

If this is true, why isn’t it getting the press in the MSM?
