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.

But your break point at year 2003 for the trend lines is totally
arbitrary. If you choose year 2000 as the break point, your "no
increase" disappears.
In other words, you are just seeing what you want to see, and showing
what you want to show. *Do you call that scientific? Unbiased?- Hide quoted text -

Spinner ignores context and cherry-picks data points. It's so easy to
do - but the only person convinced by such tactics can only be
himself.
