Frank,

There was a lot of "noise" in those data.  There's a strong linear
trend, but there also may be some non-linear ones as well.  There's a
large spike in the second half of the nineties, which MAY be related
to the current widely reported melting of the Arctic ice sheet, which
only started in the 90s, to my understanding.

I'm not arguing about all the bs surrounding global warming, just
about these particular data and their relation to the other data we
have coming in.

I agree about the imprecision of the weather "forecasts" for the
effect of rising CO2.

Fred
