I've simply pointed out this is not the case.
1/2 of one degree per decade, like compound interest, still adds up.

I do need to clarify this....
I did not intend to suggest 0.5 degrees/decade is the IPCC's projection, it's simply a random small positive number to illustrate the point.
IPCC 4 states with high confidence, meaning there is robust evidence and data agreement that temperatures by the end of the century will be 2 degrees (globally) higher than they are now (their words, not mine), which of course around 1/4 of one degree per decade, not 1/2 a degree.
