re: #288 last turnip

Also, if CO2 caused global warming, since we are releasing CO2 at continuously higher rates over time, we should see continuous increases in temperature. Yet, last year was one of the clodest years on record. We cannot even predict weather next week, let along build models that predict weather over the next decades. None of the Northern California forecasters predicted yesterday’s rain storm —oe inch an hour. They said it would be about a tenth of an inch total. Not a precise science, yet. Not enough to declare truth.

You know you could consider actually looking at the data before saying such obviously false and stupid things. It really only does make you look brain damaged.

Here for instance is a graph from NOAA.

Can you read a graph?

What does this graph say?

ncdc.noaa.gov

You see on the line going up is temperature… you see how that as we go out - one the line that goes sideways, in years, temperature keeps going up overall?

Do you see that?

Now grown ups call the sideways line the abscissa and the up and down line the ordinate… but that is just to impress your friends. In next weeks class we will cover the difference between triangles and squares.
