"The Climate's Changed Before" - helpful infographic courtesy of XKCD

This is brilliant.
Of course the climate HAS changed before, but over vastly longer timescales, and this chart actually shows a thorough timeline of earth's temperature since the last ice age *to scale*!

Brilliant - I did something like this some years back - not nearly as effective as xkcd, and needs updating.

Mark Brandon's tweet to it was also good, will remember this one:
"[After setting your car on fire] “Listen, your car's temperature has changed before.""

Everything's better with XKCD. I think there's a few more climate related comics, but if I try to find them in the archive I know I'd just get distracted along the way, never to be seen again.

Looks rather like a hockey stck, eh?

i saw that comic the other day when someone linked to it on another site. I've already bookmarked it for future use.

Of course it won't stop the wankers who like to bang on about CO2 levels in the Cambrian, but you can't have everything.
