   The 1.3°/decade “non-trend?” ((0.6-0.43)/13)*10

     Wahoo. A strong La Nina in 2000 pushed the left side down. The strong La Nina in 2011 will push the right side down. ZZZZzzzz……

       Well, if you are concerned about the noisiness of La Nina over such a short-time period, why not use a longer average, like 30 years?

         Even better, how about the five year running mean?

       Oh back to the start of the current PDO – what a good idea.

       Yes, well technically, you’ve shown a 31 year trend, but ok, a little over a degree a century, El Ninos and La Ninas alike. So what? BTW, you’re reading the graphs wrong, that’s 0.13 degrees/decade for the first graph.

       Of course, that avoids the question posed, can we stop this non-trend trend with the draconian proposals being offered? Of course, not. But everyone knows this.

         The long term trend is more like 0.6C/century

     bb,

     While we’re cherry picking…

     Tell me, what are you going to say if we see more decadal trends like this
     ?
     or sea surface trends like this?

     How many 10-year periods constitutes a trend? Please tell us.

   If you start in 1979, that is right in the heart of own “Little Ice Age”, which ran roughly from 1960 to 1980 (was an unusual cool period). That is cherry picking at its finest!
