You are thus incorrect in saying a relationship fits; the opposite is true.....

Who decided to put 3 plots of different scaling on the same graph without the explainations of the physics. I can make anything look like anything with 3 independent scalings. Try this: 4th order fit for sunspots from 1640 onward to 2006 - 4th order becauase all radiation energy potential varies as deltaT to the 4th (no arguements here please - take some Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics courses please). Put that on the same plot as 'global temp" - same period. Also plot T rise as function of CO2 on the same scale - then see which slops fit better. You will be wildly supprised. But as far is the above graph, I can plot Temp and the global sale of Swiss cheese and get the same fit.

We are a site dedicated to providing Tasty Data Goodies. We have been getting a lot of data and graphs in the area of global warming and CO2, and we would love if you posted some data. Please check out a couple of our graphs, including: 450,000 Years of CO2 readings from the Vostok Ice Core: http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/8734883 Gallons of Ethanol/Acre of Crop: http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/5090130 Global GDP vs. Global Average Temperature: http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/1016984 Swivel's lifeblood is the blogging community, and a passionate blogger like yourself is really who we want to help. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or are looking for any graphs or data! Thanks, Chris Grisanti Swiveler chris@swivel.com Benj,
