Funny thing, that selective reading of data. I remember that Hoodat guy claiming the last ten years of "cooling" and it took me just 15 minutes to recognize the deniers trick, namely to start precisely with the height of the 98 El Nino. After showing him the same data with the years before the 98 El Nino, he switched to a different aspect of Global Warming. Of course that cooling myth is still propagated throughout the dark side rightwing blogosphere.
Well, just today it popped up again in a post from one of those twits.
They do that often, starting at a convenient location that makes it appear there is no change or cooling or it's not so much to matter, when if you look at a much larger data set, you see they started right after a dramatic increase in temps. It would be like denying the recession by trying to just show intra-day stock changes, or just the past year of stock prices, rather than looking at a longer historical period.
