How will AGW alarmist explain away the latest NASA report?

Question

The IPCC has been claiming for years that a doubling of CO2 would increase the earth temperature 3° to 5° C. But a new report from NASA says that such a doubling would only increase the temperature by 1.64°C  That number comes closer to what the skeptics have been saying for years. Now what will the alarmist do?

They will just claim that NASA has been bought off by the oil companies or some other silly story.

Unlike the usual deniers, the "AGW alarmists" do not base their entire scientific evidence on one model alone. The IPCC for instance uses ALL the available scientific papers on each subject.

<<<That number comes closer to what the skeptics have been saying for years.>>>

Those are the same skeptics who said AGW was not happening in the first place.

They'll start worrying about Global Cooling.
