Re: here's the graph -- you havent been reading me

Thanks for sharing that, Xenox! Rather than looking like a hockey stick, it looks like the lines I'd make on ice skates with a fall at the end!

In response, here's a link to a comprehensive refutation of same:

Hey, no need to be rude about it, man. Chill out. Other theories suggest exactly the contrary to what you've been saying (with graph and all), but that doesn't mean they are necessarily right. I've even found a theory in which the Amazon Basin deforestation is dramatically decreasing because of economic incentives given to the local farmers and land owners, but most reports from newspapers suggest that's not true.

here's the graph -- you havent been reading me
 Figure 1. This graph shows fluctuations in temperature and in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide over the past 400,000 years as inferred from Antarctic ice-core records. Temperature and carbon dioxide concentrations vary roughly in tandem over the period, with corresponding peaks and troughs. At the end of the period there is a very sharp increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, representing the rapid increase over the past two centuries.

see the end -- looks very much llike a hockey stick

your statement is so full of it.

Hmm.  Even though the temperatures are not increasing at a fast rate (that would be impossible), they are increasing at a steady, secure rate that is provoking changes in climate (like the 2005 hurricane in the south of Brazil, something completely unprecedented).
