By the Power of Doha

In honour of the the crazy predictions of 5 degree increases in global temperature averages coming out of the Doha climate change conference, I present the following graph showing the current state of play regarding climate change and changes in global average temperature since 1910 (the mean temperature during the period 1880-1909 being classified as the "pre-industrial average"). Figures are from NASA GISS.


To get to 5 degrees higher by 2100, some crazy stuff has got to happen as in 101 years of throwing CO2 in the air, we have only increased the global average by 0.79 degrees.
