You aren't very straight forward. You might do better without that chip on your shoulder.

You might do better with linked sources and both axes marked with units. One can't get more straightforward than "my thermometer reads 88°F." What do you imagine "Years before 1950" has to do with "today"?

Regarding "Temperature Anomaly":

That's all any of them show, dummy.

Fine admission, dummy. And what does that mean exactly? Never mind, I've got it right here:

The term temperature anomaly means a departure from a reference value or long-term average. A positive anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was warmer than the reference value, while a negative anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was cooler than the reference value.

Can you name your "reference value"? Not "today" is it? What's the topic again, Extreme Heat Prior to 1950?

Throughout July, Record-setting temperatures have Broiled the southern half of the U.S., southern Europe, central China and eastern Asia. The heat has caused scattered power outages in several countries and buckled roads in Utah, Louisiana and Wisconsin, according to local news reports. In Texas, a section of Interstate 10 in Houston and a six-lane state highway south of the city ruptured during 100-plus-degree heat in late June.

Greenhouse gases and pollution coming from cities are a bigger problem.

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases coming from everywhere are a bigger problem. Extracting and burning carbon based fuels being the ubiquitous main culprit. However, black surfaces like asphalt roads and roofing absorb heat from the Sun instead of reflecting it back out into space like white surfaces such concrete and pebble roofing. Urban areas obviously have more black surfaces than suburban and rural areas, but they also confine and transport people more efficiently, allowing more room for forests to grow.

Yes, forests. Growing grass and crops beats doing nothing but not by much. Certainly not compared to growing trees. Big trees sequester more carbon faster and far longer. They also shade black surfaces. Best place to grow crops is on rooftops covered in organically rich topsoil. Climb for a nice salad and get a suntan while you weed your roof.

I imagine this ice core data properly represents the warming and cooling trends which are quite frequent.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

It is obvious you don't have a problem with man changing the planet's climate through urbanization and deforestation.

The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat​

""Roads, bridges and train tracks built to the design standards of the 20th century are buckling from extreme heat gripping the globe. Power grids, buildings and cooling systems are under strain.

Design standards have failed to keep up with a warming climate, say engineering and construction experts who are pushing their clients to invest in solutions to make existing buildings cooler while factoring in the cost of future heat waves.
“The U.S. isn’t prepared for what we’ve had so far, let alone more of it,” said Adam Jaffe, senior materials engineer at Arup, a global design and architecture firm, about extreme heat.

Apu dumfuk is now thunderstruck by the revelation that temperatures tend to rise in summer.

Greenhouse gases and pollution coming from cities are a bigger problem.

Pollution sure but CO2 isn't pollution. And how do you know the UHI effect isn't a bigger problem. Their models literally amplify the GHG effect of CO2 by a factor of 2 to 3. If you ignored their model magic and just looked at the radiative forcing effect of CO2, how do you know that is worse than the UHI effect? Concrete retains a shit load of heat. How much of the planet can man urbanize before he has a problem? Do you know?

CO2 isn't pollution.

Climate Myth...​

CO2 is not a pollutant

You make Apu look intelligent and reasonable. And that's really hard to do.

You not only never answer any questions, you lack an IQ over 10 to even try....

 

[EMH]

For determined dummies:

We have DATA.

We have TWO and ONLY TWO measures of atmospheric temps, satellites and balloons, and both showed NO WARMING in the atmosphere despite rising Co2 and were highly correlated.

You have FUDGED FRAUD and a BEAKED BIRDBRAIN which parrots FUDGED FRAUD.

So you're saying that it got extremely hot 100,000 years ago and the earth & mankind survived without the help of "climate change fanatics" raising everyone's taxes?

Yes, for determined dummies the vital component of the carbon cycle - for which all life on earth depends for its continued existence - is pollution.
