Am I wrong or is the temperature scale at the left and right side the wrong
way up?
At some point I must research what these temperatures
actually refer to and how they relate to the 14'C figures.
Maybe the bit that confused you was that all
layers apart from the surface layer are NEGATIVE 'C.
No, I think those dashes relate to the y-axis units.
But it is astonishing, that summer temperatures are lower than winter
temperatures.
Anyway, the differences between all temps are about +/- .5 C.
The variation compared to 0 K, respectively blackbody temperature is hilarious
and within normal natural fluctuations.
Yes-but that is enough to potentially cause problems. The IPCC
is only claiming around 0.15C/decade. The point is if it keeps
going in the same direction (as it has now for 4 decades) it
eventually goes outside natural fluctuations
(on human-historical timescales).
Where "eventually" is no scientific term.
If it would do, it had the chance plenty of times before, at least since
beginning of the holocene.

Relating to blackbody temperature, the variation is about +/- 0.75 percent.
this is far within a statistical error range of 5%.
So since there doesn't occur a variation of more than +/- 2.5 percent, there
is no reason to worry.
Even IPCC's claims lie within this error range.
"Within this error range" could have been
left off, couldn't it?
What surprised me yesterday is that ocean
temperatures are way different than land
temperatures, that makes it possible for wind
to play an even bigger part in the average
than I imagined.
I think it was a NOAA site that showed
a difference of 7 degrees C, but I can't find
anything like that now, all sites say the sea
is nearing the boiling point.
