Please help me out here, Dr. Weinkle. As I read your figure from Wigley, et al, if methane emissions were to suddenly drop to zero, the net temperature change would be about 0.75 C? Is that correct?

Please tell me I'm wrong, someone, anyone...because if my interpretation is correct, this is insanity.
