The WaPo article is so misleading as to be dishonest. Even though the earth has been hotter than present 87% of the past, return to those temperatures is painted as catastrophic.
The present rate of heating is reported as "unprecedented", but our time resolution in looking at past temperatures is very coarse. If temperatures rose a few degrees in a century, we would not be able to know that with present science.
CO2 is proclaimed as the primary driver of temperature, when in fact CO2 increase FOLLOWS temperature increase most of the time, because the oceans cough up CO2 as they warm.
The WaPo misrepresents the Science article, and misrepresents the graph.
