That would be a bit like saying that knowing someone is paranoid is a
sufficient basis for concluding that no one is out to get him...


Yes, it is sufficient to conclude there is no global warming danger if the
un-fudged numbers do not point in the same direction.

The universal presumption in almost all things is "that which was will
continue to be." In the absence of known forces to the contrary, it is
reasonable to assume there will be no change. One certainly does not
fabricate changes then claim a trace gas is the cause.
