year average" just to include 1998? Remember, these are the same people who dismiss the idea that there has been "no warming since 1998" on the ground that 1998 was an "outlier" - but now that that "outlier" is removed from the "last ten years," the trend line on their "ten year average" chart will slope downward, indicating that even by their standard, global warming peaked and has started to retreat.
Will they change the standard to keep the trendline sloping upward?
Will they revise all their charts?
So now it's "the 2000s" and "the 1990s" - - - -, 1991, 1997 and 1999 were cool years - - - it's still a matter of cherry-picking, antarcticice, and more importantly, it's a matter of changing the standard.
YOUR side went with the "ten year average" - YOUR side's charts show the "ten year average" - now that the "ten year average" slopes DOWNWARD, you propose a new standard.
No dice.
