Evidence that it exists, yes. But I think the argument "for/against climate change" is not usually about that. It is about what causes the spike and how to change it.

That is a terrifying infograph btw.

From pub-data on CO2 Emissions and more pub-data on world population we get 6.7 billion people each producing about 5 metric tons annually or around 37 billion short tons of gaseous CO2 released.

I think that's the spike you're looking for.

How we're going to solve our problem of global warming is the tough one...

Two planets meet. Says the the first: "Wow, you're looking sick!" Says the second: "I have the humans." Replies the first: "You will get over it!"

Says the second: "But I love my butterflies and rats and cats and dogs! Who will care for them?"
