"A rising trend line would indicate warming "
Â
No Aloy, a rising trend line would indicate warming at a faster rate per year. you could even call it a snowball effect
Â
Â
If you get a 5% pay rise per year, your trend is flat because it's the same rate every year, yeah?
Â
A trend line that lies next to a scale that says "0.23" indicates there IS global warming every year on a scale of 0.23c per year, every year.
Â
That graph says the world is warming, cooling, warming and cooling, but overall it's warming. In 100 years it's 23c hotter on a flat trend of 0.23c per year according to that graph. Scary, but then again, 17 years isn't much to go on.
Â
It reminds me of the boiling frog scenario.
Â
People refuse to react until they see the catastrophic consequences of inaction Sad but true me thinks.
