Sad when people's own insecurities about being Right or Wrong are projected onto what is an ongoing process of discovery.
The spike in the last few years is quite a bit lessened, but the trend *is* still upwards. As it was in '28-'44, and '50-'58, so it's not exactly a smoking gun. The effect of the reanalysis on the global situation was less, it only altered it by a couple of percentage points down, which is interesting - is something else taking up the slack, is the global data reliable, or do we simply haven't a solid clue how to work with this data yet?
Given the *stunningly* bad data gathering in some areas of even this country, (when a weather station is moved from a grassy plain to the middle of a parking lot, do you *really* think the sudden upturn in temperature is from global, or local effects?) I am highly skeptical of even the base data. We're just all over the map.
