ian, you say:
"5 year and 10 year moving averages are the applicable trending instrument here.
See for yourself. The trend since the 70s is upward ... proves nothing in a global context."
Now who's cherry picking!
Put a trend line through the whole data not just post 70's. The trend is down. If you want to point to the post 1970's data, fine: then explain the 1890 to 1970 decrease in temperature.
