(William M. Connolley 23:49, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)) Nice pic. Thanks. Will need to digest. Comment: you've singled out 2004. There is, almost, the implication that 2004 is the recent max (esp around the comments about it might be a sign of GW. But 2004 was cooler than 98, 02 and 03 (from memory; 98 the max).
- 2004 is slightly lower than 03 and 02, but you could never resolve that on this scale. 1998 is noticably higher but also corresponded to an enormous ENSO event so using that would somewhat exagerrate modern temperature change. However, you do have a point, and I'll try to edit the text a little bit to reflect that. Dragons flight 00:02, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
SHouldn't this be on it's own article page and not on an image page?? Jaberwocky6669 06:29, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Time's arrow
Why change to plotting time backwards with this plot? Yes, I know, that is the Palaeoclimate convention. But to general readers it is just confusing. And it it makes cross-discipline interpretation of the data difficult.

1. Where did the graphic come from?
2. What are the composing proxies used and where did they come from?

- Ummm, prehaps read the description page? For example the section labeled "Data Sources". Dragons flight 15:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
