The Copenhagen Diagnosis

Just a couple of small questions:

“Over the past 25 years temperatures have increased at a rate of 0.190C per decade, in every good agreement with predictions based on greenhouse gas increases.”

Is this written in English? What does “in every good agreement” mean? Are there some “not-so-good” agreements, or some “bad” agreements?

“Natural, short- term fluctuations are occurring as usual but there have been no significant changes in the underlying warming trend.”

Is this a reference to the fact that cooling has been occuring over the past two years?

“Satellites show great global average sea-level rise (3.4 mm/yr over the past 15 years)”

Wouldn’t that be 2 inches in 15 years, or about 1/8 inch per year?
