" less extreme anthropocentric global warming then in Al Gore's productions"
That was Svante Arrhenius' global warming, not Gore's. In 1896, he said, that if CO2 went from 280-> 560, temps would go up 4-5 degrees C. Right now, CO2 is spiked at 409 (hopefully) because of El Nino. Warm water holds less than cold water, and is giving some back to the atmosphere. Some might be re-absorbed with La Nina. Temps are up over 1.5 degrees from their pre-industrial levels, and should also drop with La Nina, but not all the way back to the previous LN record.
" it also addresses a milder claim. 97% rather then 99%, "
99 is the new 97; actually, closer to 99.9+, but what the heck? (Also, 100% of the national academies and scientific organizations)
