Temperature and CO2

If this is a topic of interest, we could choose a time scale and flail away. Mojo I suspect would want to discuss most recent 500 years. Works for me.

 

To this conspicuously quiet discussion I add

Early onset of industrial-era warming across the oceans and continents

Published today. Here is a pirated figure:

Which probably won't surprise anyone Going 'nowhere prior to ~1900, but then...something. Solar and oceanic variability occur throughout. CO2 is different though. Data, mechanism, significant differences, Makes one wonder eh?

As always I add 1 oC is not so much. The next degree up may happen faster. the experiment is boldly underway.
