Does pre-industrial warming double the anthropogenic total?
... Several climate-model experiments have simulated the climatic effects of the difference between the greenhouse-gas values for 1850 measured in ice cores and the lower concentrations proposed for 1850 in the absence of pre-industrial anthropogenic emissions. The models in these experiments have used ...
