Careful Terry. It looks as though the wheels are really coming off your
argument. You can't even get the period you question right anymore and
your argument has changed from picking a unnaturally cool period to
magnify any warming to saying that changing the baseline changes whether
it is cooling or warming during any period. Pure bull****.

Thanks for the ad hominem. I'm astonished that you can't grasp that
choosing the baseline is crucial to the GW proponents, and that it's
manipulation to other date ranges changes the picture totally.

Frankly, your previous posting ducks and weaves all over the place,
and it isn't worth answering. Why, for example, introduce standard
deviations, when no-one has done so up to now? Are you trying to cover
an uncomfortable personal relationship to data? Only an ignoramus
would ever say "there is too much variability".
