As to temperature increase,the range is as high as 11-degrees F climate sensitivity to a doubling of greenhouse gases.
As to the Middle East,and other foreign imports,gasoline in American tanks may be sourced from: Bahrain,Iran,Iraq,Kuwait,Qatar,Saudi Arabia,United Arab Emirates,Neutral Zone,Algeria,Angola,Nigeria,and Canada,at a rate of 1,362,180,000 barrels a year,as of 2017.
It was retracted in nature, it wasn't made obsolete or superceded. So it was at least junk science and incompetence, at worse possibly fraud. It was described as systemic errors in data collection and inconsistencies in testing methods.
Retracted in nature is bad. You are not going to spin this one into less than what it is.

So the study is going to have to be completely redone. Which means the results would be completely different.
To assign an order of magnitude to the error would be pure speculation.

If man made global warming is settled science then how come these reports get made obsolete and replaced?
