    Pig Head,

    It seems your name was aptly chosen!

    "I like to use generally accepted data so that even blinkered propagandists like you will accept it."

    This blinkered propagandist would appreciate a source. I'll use the NASA data which I assume you accept as reliable?

    "About half of the warming in the last century was pre-1940 - nobody attributes this to anthropomorphic CO2. It then cooled about .5C til about the mid-70s (at a time when CO2 ommissions were increasing exponentially).

    I suppose sometime around 1970-1975 is where you'd prefer to mark the staring point."

    None of this has any relevance to the point I was making.

    "Thw world then warmed to 1998. The temperature has fallen slightly since then even if we completely take 1998 out of the equation"

    Ok, chart below:



    When 1998 is taken out of the picture (i.e starting from 1997 or 1999, or just looking at the trend line) you can see a large increase in global temperature in the last 10 years.
