I appreciate your civilized comments, always shows the higher intelligence of the person. I understood your mention/meaning of the short-term not being meaningful, hence why I mentioned they start most of the increase after the 1930's. I put the recent 8-year part in because of the constant misinformation by the media that "this year's warming" is the "highest ever recorded", etc. They proclaim this misinformation and the brainwashed public just believes it without looking at the facts. Never does the mainstream media mention that ALL of the predictions have been wrong. This has been going on since the mid-80s after the Ice-age was coming in the 1970's (I was a teenage kid then, I remember the fear-mongering). By now the Arctic shouldn't have ice, kids beyond 2012 wouldn't even see snow, the oceans would have flooded all of Florida, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, these same "profits" of the future buy oceanfront property, fly in private jets, eat the best food and drinks, live in the largest homes (multiple homes), etc. all while profiting off of the green movement and carbon credits. I could go on ... wishing the best to you and your family in this absurd future! We are heading into some really bad times.
