So
This is from the British Geological Society web site. Sure their are deviations from this curve and the average temperature curves due to the buffering of oceans for dissolved gasses and as a thermal sink. That does have its limits. Do any of you sceptics who don't believe humans are contributing to global warming have an explanation for this ( please, other than that thousands of scientists and their data points are lying for some totally unknown compelling conspiracy). If you are unfamiliar with the term "industrial revolution" this may not mean much to you. Even deniers understand that the over production of greenhouse gasses, not to mention other forms of industrial pollution is not good ( the way we farm is a huge one) so why not do what little we can to tone it down? Too bad our collective memories seem to last for about a generation and a half. Of course, the heart of the problem that nobody really talks about is population growth and the reasons behind why nobody thinks that is their problem.
