Second, what you are doing is the equivalent to looking at a single day percentage increase on a stock and selling everything you've got to buy as much as you can, believing that single day rate of return will occur every day from now on.

First off, we do know what the average temperature was based on isotopic analysis of gas bubbles trapped in ice and ocean cores, so yes we know what the average temperature in places where core samples were taken for as long ago as 50k years.

Secondly, its AVERAGES, thats why its not a day to day whatever you were talking about

Dec 23 right now ON AVERAGE around the globe is 1.5 degrees warmer than the last century AVERAGE, those AVERAGES dont normally statistically vary much so to have a variation of 1.5 degrees within 100 years is on the verge of being catastrophic, because once again, ITS AVERAGES and im not quite sure you understand the heat energy necessary to raise a global AVERAGE temperature.


ummm, its averages based on thousands of measurement around the globe both land and sea, shallow and deep
