But a bit smoother.

With that graph it won't be an ice hockey stick then

I see none of the experts warning of the destruction of the mankind can tell me what the climate would be like now and in the future if man hadn't released any of these evil gases.

Looks to me like we'd be freezing and starving to death with a progressively colder and colder global climate, but hey, that wouldn't please lefties attacking car drivers or pay for scientists new toys or give the government a remit to tax fuel when you buy it and then tax fuel when you burn it.

Here's the infamous graph that made Al Gore a Carbon billionaire:



Now, if we didn't have the upturn somewhere around the start of the industrial revolution, the trend was a downward drift and now the average global temperature would below 0.4 to 0.5 deg C BELOW the 1961 to 1990 average and perhaps 1.0 BELOW the average now.

What affect would this have had globally and for northern europe? A slow drift into a freezing climate, crop failures, millions dead from effects of hyperthermia? Agricultural yields fall rapidly with freezing winters and cold summers.

What would the climate look like in 100 years with this cooling?

Has the V8 gas guzzler save millions from starvation and living in freezing temperatures?
pjclarke, what say you?

You could always contact Al Gore. I don't think he uses his much these days.

I'm looking at buying a new hockey stick. Any advice or best placed to buy one?

TIA

In posted one yesterday.

Just change the range of the x-axis to make it as hockeystickish as required. Or use GDP/USD or other fiat currency graphs.

Fair point - It's the socialists who really get off the most on all this scaremongering.

Well I suppose at least they get off once in a while, which is more than could be said for Daily Wail readers.

I was gonna recommend Sherwood or Titan - but then I remembered that hockey in the UK is not played on ice.
