# Description: Global temperature. x-axis: year A.D. (1000–2004), y-axis: global temperature in °C. The black line is the smoothed global mean. The grey area is the smoothed 95% confidence interval of the estimates. The blue line is the regression line for the period 1000–1899. The red line is the regression line for the period 1900–2004.
The diagram illustrates several aspects of global warming. The rapid increase (as well as the earlier slow decrease) is statistically highly significant. One can also see that the 1990s most probably have been the last millenium's warmest decade.
Caution is required in interpretation, however, because the data prior to 1881 are estimates based on proxies (such as tree rings and ice cores). This makes both the accuracy and the temporal resolution of the estimates poorer than for the last century. Single years most certainly lay outside the confidence intervals. This does probably not affect the above conclusion about the 1990 decade, however.

Reviews of Geophysics, 42, article number RG2002. For the remainder, temperatures are based on instrumental records published on the web by P.D. Jones, D.E. Parker, T.J. Osborn & K.R.

Y tengo alguna más, pero no quiero aburriros.
La conclusión es que esto se está convirtiendo en una cuestión de fé, ... precisamente cuando los que viven de ella nos hablan de la crisis de la fé.
Como lo de la fé nunca me ha gustado me cuesta afiliarme a ninguna de las dos iglesias, aunque tengo más simpatÃa por la del calentamiento global, del mismo modo que, aun siendo ateo, me caen mejor los cuáqueros que los opusdeistas.

De lo que sà estoy convencido es de que, aun cuando no tenga nada que ver con el calentamiento global, reducir las emisiones de anhÃdrido carbónico y en general el consumo de energÃa, es bueno para todos.
(Bueno, excepto para la OPEP, Cheney, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., y demás peña petrolera, ...)
