When the CO2 effect is eventually pinned down, it will probably turn out to be weaker and much less worrisome than predicted by the global warming theorists.” WorldDifferentRealShowsTurnsSituationAirEffectsExampleHappeningsWarmSurfaceProofObservationFasterAtmosphereGlobal WarmingRegionsHypothesisMeasurementTrickyTheoristsCo2 Author:Nigel Calder
