SCIENCE FICTION?

I don't have any expertise in global warming, so you can shoot me down on this one, if you like. It's just that I'm just having trouble accepting one of the conclusions in the latest scare story "Deadly Hot Summers To Become The Norm":

"At the rate at which the climate is changing, the scientists estimate that by the 2040s more than half of the summers will be warmer than that of 2003, and by the end of the century a summer similar to 2003 will be classed as unusually cold."

The same phrase surfaced in a radio report. Is that projection realistic, or have the journalists misinterpreted the findings? At the rate I'm having birthdays, I will be 245 in 245 years time. But I won't be, will I?

Please feel free to tell me I'm an idiot. I won't be offended.
