You might enjoy history and perhaps even enjoy enhancing your understanding of what happened where and when.

Then the next question is why you are posting a comic strip and advertising it as science?

Here is some real science:

Berton,

The "Timeline of Earth's Average Temperature Since the Last Ice Age Glaciation" comes with references to published peer reviewed Climate Science Papers.

Yours hasn't done so.

Tell us folks here in central Missouri that the climate is warming and you will get thrown out on your ear. It is colder than a well diggers ass.

Not in the link you provided: Permanent link to this comic: http://xkcd.com/1732/

Here is the same data I provided from a different viewpoint:

Here is 38 years of empirical data clearly showing a relationship between the satellite temperature and the rate of change of atmospheric CO2 concentration at the Mauna Loa Observatory.

Surly you are not suggesting that one needs a PHD to plot or understand the plots are you?

We hear that sort of thing most Winters. It is, of course, weather not climate.

Experts say the Arctic sea-ice loss is causing the polar vortex to shift and will cause longer winters.

Figure 1. Mauna Loa Observatory

Figure 1 shows the monthly lower tropospheric satellite temperature for the Tropics-Land component in blue and the annual change in CO2 concentration in red. The obvious correlation between the two raises the possibility that there may be some common causal factor whereby the temperature drives the rate of change of CO2 concentration. It is not possible for the rate of change of CO2 to cause the temperature level as a time rate of change does not define a base. For example a rate of 2 ppm per annum could be from 0 to 2 ppm in 12 months, 456 to 458 ppm in 12 months or any other pair of numbers that differ by 2.
Note that the satellite temperature data is supplied as a residual after removal of the estimated seasonal variation. This makes it comparable to the annual rate of change of CO2 concentration as taking the annual rate eliminates the seasonal variation.



Do you understand so far?
