What is up with all these comments (this is the 3rd one I've seen on this thread) that start with something along the lines of "the BBC which is supposedly a world class journalistic organization"... First of all, it makes your overall argument much weaker than you think it does. If you had just stated something along the lines of "Note this data only begins in the 1980s", which the graph also clearly states, I would have considered it a fair observation. I would still agree with the general conclusion, primarily because there are so many other data points this year, that we are "generally fucked". And my "generally fucked" I don't mean that Earth will become uninhabitable, but certainly many regions will be. Count me as one of the "climate change immigrants" - I'm started the process of moving out of my Southwestern US city because (in a reverse analogy), this is just the tip of the iceberg, and this summer has been brutal, and I'm generally used to brutal summers.
