There's pirates, and there's wannabe pirates.

Does this mean we don't have to worry about global warming anymore?

If you count pirates with machine guns instead of peg-legs, then piracy is at an all-time high, and not just recently either. So I can only assume that (given that the graph clearly isn't utter bull, as it is the divine revelation of the FSM) the graph only refers to pirates who keep parrots and say Yarr a lot.

It just refers to some number of pirates, it doesn't say what it's counting about them.
(And modern-day piracy is usually greatly overstated - there are more bank robberies than acts of piracy, very little of value is stolen, and people rarely get hurt in the process. We don't have a piracy problem, we have an imperialist pig-dog problem, who will use any excuse to get more money poured into the military)

OMG. So lack of pirates is causing global warming. Where's my machine gun and motorboat?
I'm turning to piracy to save the world.

Nice scale for pirates!
I like how the number of pirates first increases from 35000 to 45000 and then decreases from 45000 to 20000. I've seen this graph before but I've noticed only now.

It's a satire of all the idiotic broken graphs that you find all over the place in pop pseudoscience and news reporting. Pretty much everything that could be wrong about this graph is wrong. Consider it a reminder that if you're looking at a graph, and it wasn't created by an actual scientist, it probably isn't a great deal better than this.

Hm, how did Mighty FSM (let you be touched by His noodley appendage) got involved with pirates and global warming? (Am I missing a piece of common internet knowledge?)

Ah. Naturally :).
