When a scientist predicts 20C warming

you know that the CAGW crisis is nearing its end. They do admit that they do not know when that milestone will be reached. Perhaps they should have added 'if that milestone is reached'.

Now they are really trying to scare us. The quote below was made on Earth Day 1970.



“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
~ Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

Guess the trends didn't continue. At least Kenneth was wise enough to use that CYA hedge. It would have been  really useful if Kenneth could have peered into the future about 6 years and seen the PDO shift that was going to take place with the resulting step jump in world temperatures. But he didn't use that crystal ball. Wonder why? 

Guess Matthew Huber is not watching the current temperature trends.


I feel quite safe in saying that the 20C rise due to increasing CO2 concentrations will not occur.


We'll see who is correct.
