xkcd's timeline of Earth's average temperature since the last Ice Age glaciation

Back on 23 March 2010 and again in follow-up posts on 10 April 2010 and 20 April 2015 I used a rough-and-ready squiggly rattlesnake analogy while discussing global temperature changes.

Over a decade later I've just come across the following XKCD illustration by Randall Monroe to put a different perspective on the matter, which I present without comment (other than "wait 'til you reach the very bottom of the chart" - from around year 1850 onwards).
