Yes, the climate has always changed.

But, the speed of recent change is unprecedented.

More importantly, we understand why.

Burning fossil fuels & deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere which warms the planet.

Simple physics. Understood for more than a century.

It's anything but simple and what this graph is saying is just that you have a very bad model because we don't see proportional effects at all.

Simple logic, understood for thousands of years.

@silmathoron @ed_hawkins

So are you saying climate "scientists" show catastrophic graphs despite they know the actual effects are toned down?

@post
This is absolutely not what non-linear means... The graph shows measurements, I just told you why they do not look like what you expect. Do you even know what you are talking about? @ed_hawkins

I know dynamical systems, if you have something technical to add go ahead.

Please in your next comment include a reply to my question: is this graph intentionally misleading and some kind of metric of the effects should be presented instead?
