text: Two new climate studies have delivered a critical blow to global warming alarmism. Estimates driven by old computer models projected an increase of 1.2 C in global temperature if carbon-dioxide levels double. However, new research relying on available empirical data shows the climate's sensitivity to higher amounts of carbon dioxide is much lower than previously thought as low as 0.02 C if carbon-dioxide levels double. With these modest temperature projections, perhaps the Chicken Little tendencies of climate alarmists will subside. READ MORE
