1. Fascinating

But I'm pretty sure it starts at 1880, not 1980.

6. Thanks

I see the error originates on their site. The chart starts at 1880 someone accidentally wrote 1980 at the top. No biggie.

The point is still that we're like the frog sitting in the pot of water as it starts to boil.

8. The mean temp from 1980 to 2014 is the baseline

against which temperatures from 1880 are plotted.
