I like this graph and was thinking of using it in a science project, and the only thing that isn't great about it is the fact that it starts at the right and goes left. This may not be apparant to people who aren't paying attention, so I've edited my version of it so that it goes from left to right, and I was wondering if anyone else would like it going that way. If no-one says "no" in a week I'll change it.

I prefer my version. All of my figures showing more than a few thousand years are oriented with the present at the left as this is a conventional choice in the earth sciences. You can of course use it however you like. PS. Your link is not working for me. Dragons flight 06:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Ok, I just thought I'd ask. That's strange, does this link work? Ultra Loser 07:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

How about inserting a permanent link for each option? Also, if you could label the axis on the right of your new graph it might be clearer.--Anonymous

Both links work for me. I like the left-to-right version better than this one. Wikipedia should be written for a general audience, not for earth sciences specialists.--Yannick 02:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


This is just a guess, or a theory and a very minute chance of being even slightly accurrate; this is not recorded data.--Anonymous

The graph seems to match scientific data I've seen elsewhere, but feel free to verify the references if you are in doubt.--Yannick 02:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • My only concern with this chart is the statement “The Industrial Revolution Has Caused A Dramatic Rise in CO2”. Current data shows a direct correlation between the start of the industrial revolution and a rise in CO2, it does not establish cause. The industrial revolution as a cause is theory, and should not be presented as fact. While most agree that it is “most likely” the cause, labeling it as such does not support the Wiki POV policy.BFAyer

[edit] Ice cores now show records from 800k yrs ago.

I'd be interested in an updated graph with the new data from: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5314592.stm BAS - British Antarctic Survey Published: 2006/09/04 22:27:27 GMT

"Carbon dioxide levels are substantially higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years, the latest study of ice drilled out of Antarctica confirms.

The in-depth analysis of air bubbles trapped in a 3.2km-long core of frozen snow shows current greenhouse gas concentrations are unprecedented." -=jml=- Jumpmanlives 03:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
