It is postulated that the effects of the war may have had a negative effect (aerosols, shifts in use of fuel, etc.?). Then there were volcanoes. Eventually the upward trend caught up.

So, imagine that flattish part not happening (a much more real pause than the denio-pause) and append the trend from ca. 1980 to the present on to the early 1940s.
