JF, > Do you know the difference between average and mean?

Another one of your "nuances" John?

m-w.com

1 a : a single value (as a mean, mode, or median) that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values b : MEAN 1b
2 a : an estimation of or approximation to an arithmetic mean

> And do you note a trend in the chart?

Sure I do. The average (i.e. annual mean) temperature of L.A. has been below 65.5 degrees for the past seven years. That's cooler than during the period between the years 1980-1997, like on the order of a few degrees.

Looks like this fact doesn't favor the global warming alarmists. Nuance that.
