Average global temperatures would rise by one-half a degree to one degree Fahrenheit from 1990 to 2000 if current trends are unchanged, according to Dr. Hansen’s findings. Dr. Hansen said the global temperature would rise by another 2 to 4 degrees in the following decade.
While the effect of small increases in global temperature is now unclear, Andrew Maguire, vice president of the World Resources Institute, a Washington research and policy group, said that the doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide that is foreseen would cause a rise of 3 to 8 degrees in temperature by the 2030’s. He said this would devastate agriculture in the United States and elsewhere, and would cause a rise in sea level of some 4.5 feet as polar ice melted.

Hansen must have been Ehrlich’s golfing buddy.. or still is.
They have made a good living crying wolf for the last 30 years.
Western Australia’ Southwest corner grows a lot of wheat. This year it was a little warmer, less early rains, good late rains, less hail damage, a record wheat crop was the result and harvesting is not yet finished…yeehaa, love that ‘climate change’. Cold years are dry years and poor crops.
