My take on Things

The IPCC average annual temperature estimates for the year 2100 are as high as 7.8 degrees C, and seem to favor (one they use,...) 4.8 degrees C.
I take a prudent, conservative approach. By this i mean i base my view of future human mitigation of CO2 emissions is based on the only observable, measurable data. That is, human behavior past and present.
This leads to my view that mitigation will not be a major factor, or should not be, in projecting average planetary temperature in 2100. So i am assuming an 8-12 degree C higher average in 2100, which is the range scientists posit if we simply do what we are doing now.
Just sayin...
