Sam Carana sometimes uses projection of extant trends to predict future temperature, often using the exponential function. My prediction is based upon the combination of several contributors to temperature rise, rather than extrapolation from existing data into the future.<\/p>\n
Neither projection nor prediction is inherently more accurate. A prediction can be evaluated only upon passage of the date of the prediction.<\/p>\n
