Firstly, I don't see what difference the line makes? It's perfectly clear that temperatures are rising in both diagrams.
Secondly, what do you claim is the significance of the last graph? it just shows the AMO. So what?

Secondly, what do you claim is the significance of the last graph? it just shows the AMO. So what? nickrr, I think we can both agree that the weakness of m's position is that she holds a conclusion-led opinion of AGW. This means that in her mind AGW is a myth, period, so that she will always look for anything that appears to support her case, whether it is correct or not. So, the problem with someone like this is that they will not tend to be discriminating in selecting what evidence to present which is, I'm sure you'll agree, wholly unscientific. This unquestioning acceptance of bogus information is always one-sided and anything that appears to be in conflict with it is automatically rejected. This approach just leads to nonsense and self-delusion but is very resistant to rational argument. What you have to examine is the motivation for this kind of entrenched attitude and in my experience usually comes down to things like self-interest or a need to be noticed or just a predisposition to be perverse; in m's case I cant's say, but it will probably be one of these. It might even be because she hated her father, who knows? |

Hey, hey, hey, Striker you go too far with your amateur psychologising.
I simply present someone else's portrayal of a "trick" of data presentation designed to lead the unwary reader by the nose.
Why don't you discuss the thread topic - the presentation of data instead of attacking me? What I think is neither here nor there. Discuss the evidence or pipe down. Your psychologising is irrelevant but your obsession with ME is very revealing about YOU. Geddit?
