Description: A comparison between the 1988 global mean temperature projections shown by James Hansen in his 1988 congressional testimony and the subsequent observations. Scenario A assumes rapid exponential growth of GHGs and includes no large volcanic eruptions. Scenario B has continued moderate increase in the rate of GHG emissions and includes three large volcanic eruptions. Scenario C assumes GHGs were to stop increasing after 2000.
