Another inconvenient graph for warmists: Eau Claire, WI hit 90+ F. much more often for decades before 1953 than it has since then

Do NOT miss this graph: If the Earth just hit 400ppm for CO2 for the first time in millions of years, how do we explain all these readings over 400ppm from the 1800s and later?

I think skeptics should question any claims that CO2 was stable around 280ppm at any point in the last few hundred years.

CO2: The Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Time: Dr Zbigniew Jaworowski's criticism's of the assumed reliability of IPCC graphics merging pre-industrial CO2 data from ice cores with atmospheric measurements from 20C

...glaciological studies are not able to provide a reliable reconstruction of CO2 concentrations in the ancient atmosphere.
...Formation of CO2 clathrates starts in the ice sheets at about 200 meter depth, and that of O2 and N2 at 600 to 1000 meters. This leads to depletion of CO2 in the gas trapped in the ice sheets. This is why the records of CO2 concentration in the gas inclusions from deep polar ice show the values lower than in the contemporary atmosphere, even for the epochs when the global surface temperature was higher than now.
... An ad hoc assumption, not supported by any factual evidence[3, 9], solved the problem: the average age of air was arbitrary decreed to be exactly 83 years younger than the ice in which it was trapped...The notion of low pre-industrial CO2 atmospheric level, based on such poor knowledge, became a widely accepted Holy Grail of climate warming models.
...
Improper manipulation of data, and arbitrary rejection of readings that do not fit the pre-conceived idea on man-made global warming is common in many glaciological studies of greenhouse gases.

Graph shows changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide seem to follow temperature changes (not the other way around)

Reader DB writes:

I came across a graph of land/sea temperature changes and atmospheric CO2 changes for the past 5 decades (below) , which appears to be devastating to the CO2-centric theory of warming. Am I reading it wrong?

Pachauri thinks it'll take another 13-23 more years--in addition to the past 17--to determine whether their crumbling catastrophic AGW theory is a bomb.

But I think all he needs to do is look back at their own datasets over the past 54 years (datasets the IPCC supposedly rely upon for their Assessment Reports) of land/sea temperature changes and atmospheric CO2 changes, and he should be able to see what I am seeing--which phenomenon occurs first--changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide seem to follow temperature changes (not the other way around). Even adding in the newest (adjusted) HadCRUT4 dataset still doesn't help them...

During the next three years, his Alliance for Climate Protection plans to spend $300m (about £150m) on television advertising and online organising to make global warming among the most urgent issues for elected American leaders.
...
Environmental activists yesterday described the plan as the most ambitious public campaign launched in the US.

"The resources are completely unprecedented in American politics," said Philip Clapp, of the Pew Environment Group.
...
"This climate crisis is so interwoven with habits and patterns that are so entrenched, the elected officials in both parties are going to be timid about enacting the bold changes that are needed until there is a change in the public's sense of urgency in addressing this crisis," Gore said. "I've tried everything else I know to try. The way to solve this crisis is to change the way the public thinks about it."

So where's the warming?

Runaway Global Warming - Has Arrived pt 2 : Environment - Page 73

Is it possible for anyone to discern from this particular graph of ice core temperature data where anything remotely resembling something the earth hasn't seen, and recovered from, before, is actually happening?

Sure looks to me like prior "runaway warming" was alot worse in terms of temperature than anything seen to date without some horrendous extrapolation which certainly is not in evidence.

This is the make up of our Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen, Oxygen and that tiny sliver of Argon. Where is carbon dioxide and methane and all that other stuff? They are too small to be represented in a pie chart, that is why they are called trace gases.

April '08: "Record 2008 Crop for Brazil"

2008 Crop Trip Report: Brazil Expected to Produce Three Record 2007/08 Crops

Brazil is forecast in 2007/08 to produce three record crops for corn, cotton and soybeans due to a combination of increased planted area and favorable weather.

In looking at the graph below, I'm failing to see any evidence that small amounts of warming or CO2 devastated corn yields in recent decades. Can someone please help me out?
