Does it bother anyone else that only the Global temperate has its axis labelled?
What is the orbital wobble measuring?
What is the volcano line measuring?
Is that decreased forests or decreased land use?
Should be be using more aerosols?
Is that meant to be suns temperature or sun activity, or sun colour?
I realise that the actual data is from reliable carefully measured models but it makes this illustration so pointless.
- jlebar 11y ago> What is the orbital wobble measuring? What is the volcano line measuring? Read the bottom of the page; it explains that the colored lines measure the modeled expected impact from orbital wobble/whatever on climate. That is, all of the lines measure global temperature.
- triangleman 11y agoAll of the lines model global temperature. Except the temperature line... right?
- comboy 11y agoYes! "The colored temperature lines are the modeled estimates that each climate factor contributes to the overall temperature." This is so bad that it makes me angry. They are showing these lines to convince you what influences climate change. And those lines represent how much they think different factors influence climate change. Sigh.
