Sure - if you think that leaving out 95% of the RSS data is
"representative". Using a 10-year data span, all you have to do is
pick the right El Nino peaks and troughs for your start and
end-points, and you can get any result you care for.
Well, right now is where we are, and seems to be a reasonable end
point, so at what point on the graph would you suggest starting? What
percentage of starting points give you a warming trend versus a cooling
trend?
Easy. Start in 1979 and end in 2002.

which was the graph cited. I also said "starting points", using the
present day (most recent data) as the ending point.
