Sigh! No dufus: Google "IPCC 2007 0.2 deg decade" and read some of the links you find. The IPCC most definitely has stated 0.2 deg C per decade for the near term. Since the bet was for 20 years or 2 decades, I simply took the IPCC figure (which yes, my challenged friend, is the mean of their model projections) for a decade and multiplied by 2. How freaking amazing! As I stated in my post, you can of course get the same thing from the IPCC graph by scaling the slope over the time of 2000-2020 as well, which also works out to give 0.2 degree/decade astonishingly enough. Duh, who would have thunk that! Regarding the model variances, they even show that in the graph I first linked. Go look at it.
