Great analysis, thanks. Now I don't have to do it.
This is similar to setting 1880 as our "baseline" and saying there wasn't any noticeable warming until the late 70's. It works if the person you are talking to doesn't know that 1880 was the hottest year of the 19th century. By about 0.6C!
This was also the tactic with the "great slowdown" of warming between 2000 and 2010 that Deniers trumpeted as "proof" Global Warming was a hoax. It worked only if you set 97/98 as your starting point. Once again, El Nino years and the hottest years of the 20th century.
People never seem to learn that these kinds of arguments are structured to appeal to what they "want to believe". Not reality.
I´m no Climatologist, so could someone please help me understand something. Your final graph shows an average climb in temperature by 0.2°C per Decade, to my ears that sounds miniscule. 1 degree in 50 years doesn´t strike me as an enormous problem.
You would probably like my dissection of a 'Climate Disinformation Campaign'.
