[edit] "unresolved questions"
A question was posed in an edit's notation asking, basically, "what unresolved questions"? In [1] (June 26, 2006) President Bush said "I have said consistently that global warming is a serious problem. There's a debate over whether it's manmade or naturally caused." Simesa 03:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SAP 1.1 "discrepancy"
Removed the following "Note" from section SAP 1.1:
- Note, however: References 6 and 7 refer to the Press release and Executive Summary (Tom Wigley, lead author), respectively. Inexplicably, these misrepresent the plain results of the Report itself, namely that there is a clear discrepancy in the rate of (low-latitude) temperature increase for the surface compared with higher levels in the atmosphere – which contradicts the expected results from greenhouse models. This can be easily checked by comparing Fig. 5.7E of the Report with Fig. 1.3F; the discrepancy is most clearly shown also in Fig. 5.4G. The inevitable conclusion is that the (human) greenhouse contribution to current warming is of minor importance compared to natural processes.
The note has been added three times by User:SFredSinger. If this discrepancy is discussed elsewhere, then it may be included and cited - otherwise it appears as WP:OR. Vsmith 19:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
