The IPCC are using exaggerated models and numbers to do their predictions from, as well, that inflates the human element immensely. They do their calculations based on 1% Co2 contribution by humans per annum. The actual total amount is more like 0.38%. Do the math and it's easy to see the final tempurature changes you come out with are VASTLY different on a worldwide scale using the inflated UN model numbers and the actual factual numbers. The UN numbers give an increase along the lines of 1-6 degrees in the 21st century... some alarmists even suggest as much as 10 degrees. If you use the REAL numbers, they indicate more along the lines of 0.6 to 1.5 degrees in the 21st century. A blip on the scale, but BARELY.
