And you can still see a significant uptick in the US's and China's graph peaks despite the increased scale.

Yeah, but now it's all squiggly and silly. How can you be horrified by that?

I hope the rich fucks you're simping for let you into the Apocalypse bunker when the time comes, buddy. I mean, it's a slim chance, most likely you're going to have to deal with being a refugee and explaining to your starving kids why you helped this happen, but hey, there's still the odd chance you could win getting to live out the rest of your days in a fancy hole in the ground.

I'm addressing the tweeter here, not OP.

Most notably, he cropped the graph on the "ourworldindata" website - the annual average appears below all of those charts, and quite obviously line go up. I took his Sweden chart into excel and added a trend line just to make it all on one chart.

I like how climate-change denying trolls in the replies are mainly advancing these two arguments:
- Temperature hasn't been rising over the 20th century, it's only an artefact of changing thermometers
- It used to be even warmer during the Roman Empire anyway

Temperature hasn't been rising over the 20th century, it's only an artefact of changing thermometers
It's such a dumb argument because while it's true that we have mostly gone over to digital thermometers, for ease of use, the old Mercury thermometers are still available and still work. Manufacturers verify digital thermometers against Mercury thermometers precisely so that a discrepancy like this doesn't happen. Independent verification is very easy, just go on Amazon and order a Mercury thermometer, they're not restricted technology.

You’re assuming a world in which thermometer manufacturers and/or standards bodies validate new technologies against legacy ones for consistency, rather than one in which there’s a directive from the Illuminati lizard people prohibiting any such validation, in order to take free people’s giant SUVs and holiday flights away.

@echodot @Amoeba_Girl are you assuming that any of them are arguing in good faith?

Nonono I didn't hurt you! Please do't tell mum! Look, if I stand waaaaaaay back here you can barely even see that your head is bleeding!

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
