This graph from Nasa
I may be full of baloney but I was taking my class in climate change and was studying the graph for global warming trends. I noticed something very interesting so I took a closer look.
Above is a graph showing the annual mean and the 5 year mean temps since 1880.
I noticed that during each war from World War I through the Iraq War there were definite temperature spikes with a gradual falling off when the war ended, except with Iraq where we are still spiking because of bombing still going on.
If you notice on the graph above that a spike begins around 1914 and begins to fall off about 1920. That was when WWI took place and then the cooling trend within about 2 years after the end of it.
Again a spike begins around 1939 lasting till about 1948 which was the time of the beginning of WWII and three years after that. I noticed the high point of the spike is around the time of the dropping of the atomic bombs. Then in 1950 after a small dip in temp, we see another spike that lasts till about 1957 or 8 which was the beginning of the Korean War and two or three years after that when the temp began to go down again.
The next spike was around 1963 when the Agung volcano erupted and then began to climb again around 1961 or 2 when the US joined the Viet Nam War with troops on the ground. It began falling again around 1977 about 2 years after the war ended.
The next spike was when the El Chichon volcano erupted around 1982 with a bigger spike with the eruption of the Pinatubo volcano around 1991. That spike is shared by the Gulf War which went from 1990-1991.The spike dips down around 1996.
Then, in 2003 it takes a big jump when the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars started and it has been climbing ever since.
In all the classes I have had on Climate Change and Global Warming, I have not heard any talk about these anamolies and I wonder how much the wars are actually affecting the rate of global warming and are the scientists taking them into consideration for contributing to global warming.
I noticed that since the wars of the 20th century started there has been a steady climb in the temps.
