But I do have peer-reviewed studies that say specifically the amount of change that is attributable to human activity is so small it is not measurable, like .07 of 1 degree in 50 years. Now, that is significant. I have several peer-reviewed studies. I would be glad to respond to your question by reading those. I have a peer-reviewed study published in the April 18, 2007, issue of the science journal Geophysical Research Letters, which found that if the world continues to warm, vertical wind shear--which literally tears apart storms--will also rise. These winds will decrease the number and severity of storms we would otherwise have.
