What Carbon

Not sure what your point is.The graph did not start with an extreme warm year.if it did the trend for global temperatures would be negative.And if 1998 hadn't occurred the trend again would be negative.

Regardless the number should be -2 degrees C. I notice you're not going to answer that.

Don't get your point either.I simply posted the graph and commented on the trend line.

Just that it clearly doesn't mean what you think it means when the answer should be -2 not 0. But keep pretending you don't understand, if that makes it easier.

What this has to do with the carbon tax and more generally global warming is beyond me. Please explain.

It is about as relevant as half the other fluff and waffle in this thread.

New report shows that climate change is making hayfever worse.

"Due to global warming and because symptoms may appear earlier in the year, people suffering from a pollen allergy might face a new unaccustomed situation," the Swiss authors said.
US research into ragweed - a common weed in northern NSW and Queensland and spreading far beyond the east coast - found the plant flowering earlier and producing more pollen under higher levels of carbon dioxide in lab conditions.
Janet Davies, an allergy expert at the University of Queensland and leader of the Australian Aerobiology Working Group, said subtropical grasses have slightly different photosynthesis mechanisms to temperate varieties, giving them an edge in the wild as CO2 levels rise.
