Talk:2500: Global Temperature Over My Lifetime
The DgbrtBOT seems to be broken again. I created the page for this comic, and the previous comic explanation was also created manually. Natg19 (talk) 18:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Retired old guy here, I'm puzzled by the usage in the title text, "Then I realized, oh, right, of course." Is this meant to imply that Exxon controlled the use of petroleum over this time period, instead of just predicting the usage? 172.70.130.225 18:16, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- I think it just means that if anyone's going to have accurate data to predict petroleum use (such as supply levels), it would be a petroleum company.
- I assume Randall realized hindsight bias was in play: that the report only became famous after it turned out to have predicted accurately. 162.158.88.203 19:48, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
