you did not "directly link to the image" you posted a copy, with your crayola scribbling on itI directly linked the image.. Here's another edit with interesting conclusions;
350K - 105° CO2 @ 295PPM, 250K - 105° CO2 @ 270PPM, 140K - 93° CO2 @ 290PPM, Now - 91° CO2 @ 400PPM
Do you notice a trend...?
"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years."
http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
"ON NOVEMBER 2ND the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which represents mainstream scientific opinion, said that it was extremely likely that climate change is the product of human activity. Extremely likely in IPCC speak means having a probability of over 95%. The claim forms part of its fifth assessment on the state of the global climate. "

That must be why every other major scientific organization in the world agrees with the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change...
positing that Man Made Global Warming is a direct result of c02 concentrations is a THEORY (which are not facts, nor was it derived from Facts) and there are several competing theories which explain the same observations as well or better.
the assumption that an increase in global co2 concentrations from 300 ppm to 400 ppm ( thats an increase of 33%) results in an increase in global mean temps of 1.7% is not irrational, but is also not proved, nor is it catastrophic.
the waning of global warming as we approach the peak of the current milenkovic period is more likely to be the cause of a 1.7% increase in temps over 100 years, but theres no money in "remediation" of the earth's orbital eccentricity or long established glacial cycles
and thats where the politics comes in.
as Rahm Emmanuel clearly elucidated,
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." ~Rahmbo

wow, Peer Reviewed Study demonstrates that Oreskes' paper (and the cook plagiarization thereof) is fiction, and the actual "consensus" is ~45%??
i guess the journal Organizational Studies is also "Infiltrated by the Baddies" too ehh?
