NATIONAL CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH (US) SAYS 4 - 7 DEGREE GLOBAL WARMING LIKELY BY 2100—"There's a nine out of ten chance that global average temperatures will rise 3–9° Fahrenheit over the coming century, with a 4–7° increase most likely, according to a new probability analysis by scientists in the United States and Europe. As early as 2030 the planet is likely to heat up 1–2°, say the scientists. A one-degree temperature rise was observed over the past century source."

"An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system."
