I never evolved .. personally.
How’d it feeel.
Contrary to a lot of commenters on this thread, the 97% result is real and believable. But it is an endorsement of the virtual certainty that manmade CO2 is raising global temperature. That is a very uninteresting debate point which is frankly foolish to debate. The more relevant point is whether a 0.13 C per decade rise means anything. The answer is probably not. Another question is whether the 0.13 / decade rise is all from CO2. The answer is definitely not, because up to the 90's solar activity was very high. So some part of the observed rise is natural. That natural component is likely confirmed by the fact that warming of 0.13C per decade has ended and is at best 0.05C per decade which is negligible. That lull in warming is in spite of the fact that solar activity didn't drop drastically until 2008 and there is a large lag in effects. We have yet to see any serious amount of cooling from the drop in solar.
