It sort of fits with what I thought was happening.

You don't suppose there is some cyclical happenstance in the behaviour
of this stuff.

Someone mentioned '47 and '63 and '87.

several years ago.

It would explain a damned sight more than that hockey stick does.
If it turns out to be cyclical I'd love to hear David Attenborough
explaining how Polar Bears evolved.
