What is this nonsense? The worst case models predict a 10-20 degree increase by 2100.

B) The projections keep getting more pessimistic as more data is accumulated. C) We're talking about the theoretical worst-case scenario where everything spirals completely out of control and Venus starts to look like a temperate climate.
