   Looks like a sine wave. Colder in the 1900’s, warmer in the 30’s, cold through to the 70’s and warmer up to 2000. Likely to be cooler over next two to three decades, if we followed the wave, and don’t follow Warmist prophets of doom.

   If you inverted the ratio how high would 2012 have been? Was it over 15:1?

   If that data was in the BEST dataset it would be identified as a ‘breakpoint’ and thrown out due to ‘regional differences’.

   I guess it depends on what data set you’re looking at.

     Climate Central uses a database heavily loaded with stations which were not in existence during the hot 1930’s and 1950’s. That allows them to slime their readers with misinformation.

   Interesting how you can see the ~60 year cycle in Steve’s graph.
