It's also time-dependent. Roger's not the only one who can draw pretty

can see
how useful a linear trend line is, depending on what you want to
show. The
data is from Roger's thoughtfully provided source. I added another
trend
line that's probably a little more representative of what's been
happening
lately.

You're cherrypicking, again
R^2=0.0075 means nothing.

So are you. You're using an entire record to show "continued warming",
when
clearly, the latest records do not show that it's "continuing".

Today's not as sunny as it was two days ago. Does that mean that the sun
has stopped rising?

No, but it does mean that it is less sunny.

You can't very well say that it is continued sunny when it clearly
isn't. Yet that is what Roger has done.
