Glad I got the full explanation at Free Republic instead of having my ears carved off by a pathological Leftist.
That's actually fairly disturbing news.
From 2000-2010 we went up 22 PPM.
That's a 20% increase in one decade.
Has that trend increased from 2011-2014?
Should we comforted by the fact that we are still dealing with parts-per-million?
About 5% but still nontrivial. We can take comfort in the fact that during the same decade the global temperature did nothing statistically significant. A bunch of new CO2, but no new warming. This is despite the fact the solar activity just left the modern maximum and fell around 2007. So it wasn't the sun cooling off because that is too recent and there is a couple year (at least) lag between sun and average temperature (that's because the sun warms the ocean for the most part).
Should we comforted by the fact that we are still dealing with parts-per-million?
Compared to parts per thousand of water vapor? Yes.
Why is it disturbing? CO2 has been increasing for the past 20 years while temperature has remained static. More to the point linear increases in CO2 can not produce linear increases in temperature. It is not a linear function but a logarithmic one. Any doubling of CO2 can only increase temperature by 1 to 2 degrees C. So relax, global warming is not what you should fear, we can adapt to that and the ice cores show it has never, ever run away. Glaciation? Now that is worth sh1tting your pants over.
