You just need to change the values of the grid lines to millionths of a degree. Then it’ll show draumatic, frightening fluctuations with a tremendous spike at the end and scare the shit out of the dumbasses. Make sure, via public schools and media, that you have a huge supply of dumbasses. Then you blame liberty for the fluctuations, and America is done.

Do it in Kelvin. 😉

Still trying to figure out the value of this “Average Annual Global Temperature” and assuming it is accurate, its going up 1 degree F in a hundred years (or whatever) when I lived in places where the average annual temperature range is well over 100 degrees F.

True, graphs can edited to present data in a variety of ways. However, consider that what that graph is showing is an increase in total thermal energy stored in the Earth’s atmosphere, surface, and oceans. Life on Earth will not end. Life as we know it, human civilization, will continue to adapt and grow. However, it will be made more difficult by a range of changes to our world, many that we don’t even know about at this time.
Mock the doomsayers and deride those would use panic to make a buck, but make no mistake that the Earth is changing and our children will have to be prepared for it.

I agree with your caption: I fully expect to die someday. But, not from “global warming” or is it climate change or is it the next ice age or is it grandiose ambition to control everyone and everything?

Wow, do you think it will ever get warm enough to grow grapes in England? Like the Romans did?
Whoever told these people their climate/weather was going to stay the same? Wait, I bet it was the same jerks who told them life was fair.

Changing the average global temperature by even a degree or two can lead to serious consequences around the globe. For about every 2°F of warming, we can expect to see
5—15% reductions in the yields of crops as currently grown
3—10% increases in the amount of rain falling during the heaviest precipitation events, which can increase flooding risks
5—10% decreases in stream flow in some river basins, including the Arkansas and the Rio Grande
200%—400% increases in the area burned by wildfire in parts of the western United States [6]
Global average temperatures have increased more than 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 100 years. [2] Many of the extreme precipitation and heat events that we have seen in recent years are consistent with what we would expect given this amount of warming. [5] Scientists project that Earth’s average temperatures will rise between 2 and 12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. [1]

Hell, I didn’t need to see THAT one.

Even that graph shows an increase, and the increase has effects. The current models are accurate in that they have not only show positive matches to the past, but have also been predictive of both temperature gains and resulting ecologic effects in the future. Effects we have now observed.
The ability to predict is the closest science ever gets to presenting something as “fact”. The same way that theories of gravity can be used to predict the location of a planet in the solar system or the speed a weight will accelerate; the models (theories) behind global warming have predicted global patterns and been proven correct. How accurately have these models predicted the future? Things such as major volcanic eruptions have been factored into them at the time they are occurring and have predicted the values which instruments later collected.
As a person who thought it was horse shit and establishmentism, at the very least I would suggest you take an objective view of the science and data as I did instead of relying on disingenuous pundits from BOTH sides to “inform” you.
