Your red shaded area should have a hump in it between 1920 and 1950 according to the data points.
It should also have a flattening after 2000.

It should also have a flattening after 2000.
There are 14 on 5928.
What is the trend since the beginning of the thread?
You chart seems to show 2017 being cooler than 2016.
How perceptive. And warmer than 2015.
Oh good you awoke from your nap.
Of course you are right. The earth is in a period of global warming as I am sure you can recall that we are warmer than the Ice Age.
Only assholes try to make points by mocking someone's age.
For several hundred years leading up to 1850, the global temperature was remarkably stable, oscillating slowly with minor excursions up and down. That was just abut the inflection point in the use of coal, then oil, and now natural gas to power our industries and transportation.
Why would a stable climate be remarkable?
I'll tell you why.
Climate is not, and never has been, "stable".
As far back as we can extract temperature data, it has never been this unstable.
Then it is not unstable now.
You used the root word, "remarkable".
Do you know what that means?
I put the word "stable" in quotes for a reason.
You used the word "unstable". Do you know what that means?
I do.
I also know how unremarkable your argument is.
I have to admire your persistence in not losing heart despite always being the court jester in climate discussions.
What is "remarkable "about climate stability?
Despite natural perturbations driven by rare events like extreme sunspot activity or closely-spaced volcanic eruption, global temperatures tended to fall back to the long-term mean. Take for example the year 1816, known in much of the Northern Hemisphere where agriculture and commerce depended on warm summer growing season as The Year Without a Summer or Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death. Crops failed in the northeast US and much of Europe, with killer frosts into June. Some farms could not even harvest enough hay to support their livestock through the winter, so a lot of herds were culled or just died of starvation and malnutrition. 1817 was more or less back to normal, and by 1820 most rural settlements had recovered.
The precipitating event to that freeze was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies, one of the largest eruptions in recorded history, causing over 10,000 deaths in its vicinity, following closely on a similar but smaller eruption of Mayon in the Philippine Islands. Both of those eruptions pumped dust and sulfurous aerosols high into the atmosphere where they circulated around the world, eventually dimming the light and heat of the sun for a couple of years.

Weather Channel Founder on Climate Change
Comments by Weather Channel co-founder John Coleman supposedly refute global warming. Are his remarks an accurate analysis of climate change?
Critics of Coleman who do study and work in the field of climate science have produced detailed line-by-line rebuttals of his arguments against global warming.
