According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and shown in this series of maps, the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8°Celsius (1.4°Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade.
Given the earth has been in its current form, the Cenozoic era, for the past 65 million years, give or take the odd millenia or two, I rather think your sample of 130 years might reasonably appear to even the most whimsical of changers to be somewhat a cherry pick, don't you?

The absurdity of the human condition knows no bounds but it's always entertaining if nothing else. In years to come I surmise our descendants will ponder the idiocy of this society in much the same way we wonder at our ancestors' attempts to understand their place in the Universe by plotting the course of Orion's Belt whilst ripping the hearts out of a thousand virgins.

Ah well, at least those wind farmers are making a fortune and the kicker is, who is paying for it?

Stupid is as stupid does. Unfortunately, nothing shy of a Korean nuclear conflagration will alter this mad obsession of western governments which will of course run and run as long as folk are making money out of it.

Makes the South Sea Bubble look like a reasonable punt.
