Oh please! Have some respect for your own data!

>> And the one prior to that is the opposite.

Now I don't believe this is a good way of measuring for a number of reasons that I don't want to debate, but I am going to assume that at least you should respect your own data, so let's have a look at it:

Here's your last chart and let's look at the red average line - it shows a clear upward trend over the last 30 - 40 years. Importantly, it shows an increase of about 8 degrees (from about -8 to about 0). If I go back a 100 years, it still shows 6 degrees warming.



Now let's look at the chart your referred to. Again looking at the average line, over the same period not only it shows a mostly sideways trend, when you look at the recent tail end where the drop occurs, over the same period, it shows a drop of only about 1 degree - going from about 98 to about 97.



In fact, you can look at the average line and compare today's numbers to that of 100 years ago and you will see a warming of the coldest day by +6 degrees while the hottest day has hardly moved at all (maybe 1 degree cooler?). So even using your own method it comes out with a net warming of at least 5 degrees over a hundred years.

This is why I think it is a good idea to place bets on these trends. When people have to put their money where their mouth is, they will pay better attention.
