  Compelling, but...

  The graph sure does show a warming trend, but am I the only person who sees that it defines 120 years out of a couple billion? On that scale I bet you could find a proportional increase in the stock market on Black Monday. I'm worried that the science of global warming - particularly of the man-made variety - is not up for debate in the average citizens' minds. The force of popularization is turning this into an 1800s-style witch hunt for non-believers.
  That said, I am one who believes strongly in local and sustainable agriculture, and minimizing my negative impact on the environment. But let's not kid ourselves: producing one million Priuses and maintaining the roads on which they drive is not exactly "green living." It's like trying to cure obesity with a pill or low-fat versions of food. Obesity will be cured by changing habits and lifestyle.
