But just because there is no immediate threat of spontaneous combustion doesn't mean there is not a problem.

I replied to your statement: "The most extreme predictions I have seen from reputable sources have been 2 to 3 degrees within 100 years."

There is quite a gap from 2-3 degrees up to 6-7 degrees that you just ignore.
If you are interested to see just look. If you are not you will continue making empty statements.

At least check one source before posting, unless you actually want to spread lies.
Wikipedia has one set of predictions where 75% is over 3 degrees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming

Note that scientific responsibility may underrate factors when making predictions, but thing might have changed since 2001.
If we on the other hand want to take a responsible action on these predictions we shouldn't undrerrate them and there is no way that we can get between 2-3 degrees.

What is simple guessing?
Maybe the author of this paper should use his supercomputer to find the soduko for the following rules:

* the are at least two possible solutions from the information given in the first clues

* following one of the incorrect clues will not be proved incorrect until the last five figures is about to be filled in.

I ran up on hard sudokus where I had to 'guess' or follow through a faulty solution for 20 steps until it proved itself wrong.
I think this is the trademark for a hard solution if the correct solution would lead to another choice situation after just one or two steps.
