Dear Reinhard, Blick, and WeatherCat data hounds,

Thanks for sharing.  Too bad there isn't a way to select various years for comparison.  It sure appeared to me that temperatures spiked during the World War II years and then dropped for the first part of the 1950s.  That would suggest that all the particulates produced by the war wasn't enough to compensate for the emission of CO₂ by machines of war.
