The IPCC predictions are up to ten degrees hotter by the end of the
century. My predictions show a rise of about half a degree. Let's place
a checkpoint at 2011. IPCC needs to see another degree of increase or
they're wrong.
KLC: They'll move the prediction around.
DJE: Every year they recalibrate their computer model and put in the
observed temperature. So, as they go along, the curve that trails behind
is perfect. It's like predicting the morning's weather at six-o'clock in
the evening.
KLC: They call it hind-casting. It's clever. Use the same model, but
reset the starting point each year.
DJE: They published their projection, so I'll hold them to it.
KLC: They're slippery. I look at it from an engineering standpoint and
so much of it seems absurd. I don't understand how they get away with
it. Mass psychology and herd instinct?

"From 1870 to 1900, we had global cooling, then we had significant
global warming from about 1910 to 1945. That global warming is not
accompanied by any significant rise in CO2, so you can't blame CO2. Then
CO2 increased while we had global cooling. You can't blame that on CO2.
It's only been the last 30 years there's been correlation between CO2
and global warming" Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Professor Emeritus Geology,
