I agree it is very unlikely. Still, in science, you don't use statistics to ignore possibilities.
This argument originated as a response to those who claim that CO2 has never been higher. Does a possible 4 sigma outlier classify as "never?"
Now what about those four temperature es in the past on the graph I linked? Aren't they higher than today's temperature, and with less CO2?
What about the CO2 rising and temperature maintaining an almost predictable (Bond event?) pattern?
