Like Robbie pointed out, all the drama is over 0.5 degrees... and if you average out past 150 years, the average will come out to pretty much 0...
...and even 150 years worth of data when looking at earth's climate is like looking at stock prices for the past hour and trying to predict what will happen next week...

can anyone here explain why the temperature trend was flat from 1940 to 1980? Clearly industry/co2 emissions/etc grew rapidly during that time frame (4-fold increase between 1940 and 1980)... and yet, temperature trend was flat... why? |
0.5 degree change is significant.
