@SypherNight The best graph is the actual temperature plot, posted just before. Every month, NOAA releases the average of the month from around the world. This is done by satellite, like those 'no touch' forehead thermometers. It's all calibrated, and must be considered accurate.
If the temps are rising, they splash it on the headlines, and if the temps go down, they bury it. From about 2000 to 2010, the world temperatures were rising rapidly. This was the heyday of the 'hockey stick' rise. The UN based all it's predictions on this rise, and we would all bake in 2050. It was blamed on carbon dioxide, because it was also rising. This broke all the laws of physics.
Now, we can see that the temperatures are not rising in a straight line. But they do not change the prediction. Using physics, we are entering a cooler phase of world temperatures, following earlier cycles. That implies that co2 has nothing to do with anything, but I'm not saying that....
The Haywood plot is just another way to show the monthly temps over each year, which is its own line.
@SypherNight Burning coal is air pollution. Rotten cars are air pollution, but co2 is not. The world has had huge spikes in it, and all the little critters lived. I would be happy, from physics, that if we burned fossil fuel to pure co2, then we are happy. Electric cars are not happy. windmills not happy. solar cells not happy. All have hidden nasties.
I push cars running on methanol, with super-capacitors for acceleration and braking. This is happy. :) Thank you for listening.
@SypherNight Yes, I add co2 to my fish tank, and I like fizzy water. I am a 'Fan of CO2" :)
Windmills and solar are all built with slave labour, and they take up a lot of space where we could grow drugs. The lithium for electric cars is deadlier than coal.
@SypherNight fine, solar cells and windmills use a lot of carbon to get built, and a lot of rare earths which are horrible to extract. No morals here.
