Figure 2. Timeseries of the GMST anomaly for the pre-industrial period (850-1849, blue) and the historical period (1850-1999, orange). Single model realizations (semi-transparent, solid) and multi-model means (opaque, solid) are compared to the PAGES 2k PCR temperature reconstruction anomaly (black, dashed). Both (a) the original timeseries, as well as (b) the timeseries after reduction of volcanic forcing, are shown.
