Figure 5: Changes in global average temperature (left scale) and rate of combustion of fossil fuel (right scale). The thin solid line is the observed departure of global average temperature from the mid-twentieth century mean. The heavy solid line (Theory) is the difference between cumulative fossil fuel burning and a term proportional to the current rate. To avoid clutter on the graph, the theory curve has been moved up half a degree.
