Comment on xkcd : Timeline of Temperature Changes on Earth

This timeline starts at about the coldest point in the last 66 million years. Definitely not biased.
I don’t see how this is biased. Showing that the Earth did warm up over time before major human climate change started would be, very weakly, supporting that climate change isn’t real. If they wanted to be biased they would start at a warm point, and when the Earth is cooling down they’d be like “see! Earth cools naturally, so it must get warm because of climate change!”
To make my stance crystal clear, I believe in and am deeply concerned by climate change
I explained how it is biased, and you choose not to acknowledge it. Oh well.
Yes, other ways xkcd could made it biased exist too.
You’re a fucking moron
You explained how YOU think it’s biased, and you’re still wrong. We should be scared shirtless about crate change right now. Instead, you’re pointing out incorrectly how this is biased.
It is objectively biased for the reason stated. Being intentionally dense about that fact to push a certain narrative is not a good look.
What conclusion would change if the graph started at an earlier, warmer period?
As far as I know, three crucial things would still hold true:
“My bank funds history chart starts at the lowest point my funds have been since opening the account. Definitely not biased.”
Tell me you’re a blithering idiot without telling me.

The point of the graph isn’t to show the warming amount its to show how much faster the rate of warming is now compared to previous warming events.
