Using 1850 as a start point minimizes the damage. The global temperature trend goes downward until about 1917. If we used that as a start point, then the rise would be closer to +2C in ~110 years.

Yeah ... agreed.  

And the period since 1917?  it so vastly dwarfs the 1850 to 1917 interval, the period after is too gorgeously obvious (and probably damning implication) to ignore.  The point there is that something ( to remain nameless...) enormous must not just be forcing, but doing so massively.  In geological time framing ( no less...), to impose that much acceleration, changing of the previous (1850) dynamic state at a planetary scale -

You know, I keep coming back to this notion that humanity isn't terrified by this because it's so huge they can't dimensionalize the monster - so to speak. 

It is not helping that as a species, we are too constrained to what threats we can readily see, hear, taste, tough, and smell.  If it is not directly perceivable we seem to evade detection of what we don't want to. I don't know if the person you're talking to is doing this, per se...just sayn'.  We need to see an actual fire wall coming over the horizon, else it's like being scared in a movie theater. It becomes ephemeral. All one needs to do (or perhaps "gets" to do - ) is leave the theater. The horror story stops.  No longer real.  Insidiously oblivious peril.
