Read data with a time index
pandas DataFrame objects can have an index denoting time, this recognized by Matplotlib for axis labeling.
This exercise involves reading data from climate_change.csv, containing CO2 levels and temperatures recorded on the 6th of each month from 1958 to 2016, using pandas' read_csv function. The parse_dates and index_col arguments help set a DateTimeIndex.
