re: #48 Pythagoras

We just keep getting back to the linear trend. The momentary sag below the trend will recover — I don’t really care when. This video supports my view. In fact it MAKES my point — that the linear trend keeps holding. Notice how the graph at 5:30 follow the linear regression without any hint of a second order term. At the 6 minute mark he shows a 100 year prediction, and even that barely curves.

“Tipping points” in climate change was an overreach.

Umm did you notice that the fit under the curve was an exponent? Please do watch the video again. Exponents are not linear.
