...globe. The IPCC reported that observed changes are 'broadly consistent* with expected changes, but that the "unequivocal detection of the enhanced greenhouse effect from observations Is not likely for t decade or more" (IPCC 1990). This lack of consensus results, in part, from the statistical nature...
