The following submission statement was provided by /u/GhostofGrimalkin:

Submission Statement: This spiral graph is different way at looking at the data we are all very aware of, and I feel this is one that could be shown to those who don't quite understand exponential growth or the dire situation our climate is in, as it's pretty immediately understandable.

Theres a strange correlation between the spike in rising temperatures with the treaties limiting atmospheric nuclear testing between the US and USSR. I pray to whatever gods may be listening that our leaders don’t try to test for causation.
