Résumé / Abstract

Computer models predict that clear signs of the greenhouse effect should have appeared as a consequence of increases in greenhouse gases, equivalent to a 50% increase in carbon dioxide in the last 100 years. The predictions are contradicted by the climate record in nearly every important respect. Contrary to the models: (1) the Northen Hemisphere has not warmed more than the Southern Hemisphere, (2) high latitudes have not warmed more than low latitudes, and (3) the U. S. has not shown the predicted warming trend, although this is the largest area in the world for which well-distributed, reliable records are available
