Hansen of the Nasa Goddard Institute for space studies inner York have until now refused to de Clare publicly that they can discern the signature of the greenhouse effect. As for the future the draft summary forecasts an increase in the average glob Al temperature of 1.44 degrees to 6.3 de Grees fahrenheit by. 2100 if there is no  to curb emissions of Green House  that represents Only 50 percent to 70percent of the eventual warming it says.
