12. EPA Endangerment Finding (December 7, 2009): “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely* due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG [greenhouse gas] concentrations.” * EPA defines “very likely” as a 90 to 95% probability

14. “Observed” Global Temperature History, 1950-2009 “Adjusted” for SST Errors Total Rise Obs. = 0.702°C Adj. = 0.552°C Adjusted Temperature Rise is 79% of “Observed” (sources: HadCRUT3; Thompson et al., 2008)

15. “Observed” Global Temperature History, 1950-2009 “Adjusted” for SST + Non-climatic Influences Total Rise Obs. = 0.702°C Adj. = 0.468°C Adjusted Temperature Rise is 67% of “Observed” (sources: HadCRUT3; Thompson et al., 2008; McKitrick and Michaels, 2007)

16. “Observed” Global Temperature History, 1950-2009 “Adjusted” for SST + NonClim + Stratos H2O Total Rise Obs. = 0.702°C Adj. = 0.408°C Adjusted Temperature Rise is 58% of “Observed” (sources: HadCRUT3; Thompson et al., 2008; McKitrick and Michaels, 2007; Solomon et al., 2010)
