And the PETM was a notable period of rapid prolonged climate change with mass extinctions, lol. Can you see the PETM on the graph you posted earlier?

Yes, and I read PETM Weirdness There are many factors other than CO2 involved.

Likely true, carbon doesn't magically appear in the atmosphere. There were likely triggers of the event. But the point is that thousands of GtC appeared in the atmosphere underpinning a rapid and prolonged period of climate change.

If a cold october in the US allows you to ignore the larger issues, that's fine. Suppose it's a bit like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

Ciao.

Or just look at the UAH raw data since 1978 ...

Right. I quit using woodfortrees.org when I realized that the "trend line" doesn't change, regardless of the dataset or period. It's fixed when it shouldn't be, it will even appear positive when you reverse the order.

GIGO.

Take a timeout, man, I think you're losing it.

Fine with me too. But.. another perspective here on ATS, based on an October NOAA weather summary is a good thing, IMHO.

Tks for your input, Mel!
