what about the detail that the average over the past 150 years is 0? or that the temp trend from 1940 to 1980 was flat, while co2 emissions increased 4-fold in the same time frame?

i'm going by what i've read and think i understand. the goal is 2 degrees reduction.
that detail doesn't pertain to my comment. it doesn't matter about that particular trend, my comment was only regarding the point that .5 degrees is a noticeable impact, according to what i've read about the entire goal of reducing temp change 2 degrees.
not picking sides here, because the argument is moot when it comes to the environment. nevertheless, apparently it doesn't take that much of a change to throw the system out of whack. also from what i've read, the impact is more on events rather than day to day temps, the weather events are more extreme, not daily temps more extreme.
