Sure, and that was after it had been falling for the previous 30 consecutive years.


The largest increase in CO2 emissions occurred right after WW2 up until 1980 and it still went down - all the while scientists claiming the next ice age was upon us. Of course if you compare temperature to solar radiation they align perfectly during both up and down swings - could it be the Sun causing temp variations due to increased water vapor - the biggest component of the green house effect?

Of course these same dimwits claim from 1850 to 1940 the temp rose due to CO2 even though our CO2 output lagged the temp by years - yet once again measured radiation aligns perfectly.

In the 1980's, finally, the global annual mean temperature curve started to rise.

No one has said that the temps would go straight up. In fact, its believed some parts of the planet, including Europe, will be cooler under global warming.

Nonetheless, the point that I keep making but that you all seem to want to ignore is what's wrong with burning less fossil fuels whether there's GW or not? I look forward to your answer, o wise one!
