NCDC Graph Confirms : 1975-2005 Warming Identical To 1910-1940 Warming

h/t to Joe Romm

NCDC shows that recent warming is identical to an earlier warming, when CO2 was much lower (310 ppm) and increasing slowly (3 ppm / decade.)

The graph below overlays the earlier warming (red) on the recent warming (blue.)

Blaming this on CO2 seems pretty clueless.
