As for the 70s we could be seeing the oil shortage show up as carbon dioxide influencing the spikes on the graph. Massive use to very little use of oil and I think that was when coal plants started to shut down. Although I could have my timing off on the coal. Or some other function of climate like the transition of change will create greater fluctuations as the weather sorts out temperature leveling.
