That burst of warming up to 1998 may not have been not so unusual, after
all, say Basil Copeland and Anthony Watts:
"It is very unlikely that the 20th-century warming can be explained by
natural causes. The late 20th century has been unusually warm."
So begins the IPCC AR4 WG1 response to Frequently Asked Question 9.2.
The representation by the IPCC of global trends over the past 100 years
seems almost designed to hide the fact that during the early decades of
the 20th century, well before the recent acceleration in anthropogenic
CO2 emissions beginning in the middle of the 20th century, global
temperature increased at rates comparable to the rate of increase at the
end of the 20th century.

"...and I think future generations are not going to blame us for
anything except for being silly, for letting a few tenths of a degree
panic us"
Dr. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Meteorology MIT and Member of the
National Academy of Sciences
"What most commentators-and many scientists-seem to miss is that the
only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes"
Dr. Richard Lindzen
[most of the current alarm over climate change is based on] "inherently
untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
