But it's only been a portion of 1C during the first part of the 20th century and general cooling since then.

General cooling since when? The 1930s?

Nah, since the latter quarter of the current interglacial period.

You know, I looked at this chart and hoped to figure out where it's from and only found a mostly defunct web site formally funded by the British government. I couldn't figure out where this temperature was captured, especially based on our previous discussion of "cooling" in Eastern North America over the last 30 years.

Is the chart globally? Is it a norm for some part of the British Isles? Is it for London?

There are no notations to indicate and I couldn't find the links on their web site to help figure it out.

BTW. Just as an aside, do you happen to work in a certain Federal facility in Greenbelt, Md. that most people mistakenly associate with astronauts?

You don't have to answer, but I was just curious --- I had the most wonderful 3 am non-official Bourbon enhanced VIP tour of that place back in the early 1970s when NUMBUS was the hot item on the menu --- you could actually 'see the weather' albeit a few hours after it actually happened and the 35mm film was developed. (If you're curious, I'd give you the sored details off-line --- simply to protect the guilty)

What a difference a few decades can make. ;~))
