WASHINGTON (AFP) A climate change study that projected a
2.4 degree Celsius increase in temperature and massive
worldwide food shortages in the next decade was seriously
flawed, scientists said Wednesday.
It probably was. That's the long term change prediction.
Scientist Scott Mandia forwarded to AFP an email he said he
sent to Hisas ahead of publication explaining why her
figures did not add up, and noting that it would take
"quite a few decades" to reach a warming level of 2.4
degrees Celsius.
As I said.
Mandia described the mishap as an "honest and common
mistake," but said the matter would certainly give fuel to
skeptics of humans' role in climate change.
IOW, perhaps a typo? Where is a link to the actual report?
