Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?

The link is to this page: http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/
My bad, I stand corrected, the link is in there, didn't look close enough

The link is to the data set. I built the graph from the data set.

Below is a graph of the UAH satellite generated surface temperature record. It is compiled by Roy Spencer and John Christi.

That's not the impression this gave. So they compiled the data, you then created the graph…
That trend line then, is your 2nd graph merely a zoomed in version of the first or has a new trend line been calculated?

You can actually see the same graph on the link. His just has a trend line. And the second graph is apparently a cut out of the first.

Anyway if you want to look at graphs, actually, I'll dig out some.

It explains how the drop in temp around 1940s was affected by volcanoes and aerosols but did not affect the long term trend. Yea, there are chemicals and particulates that can slow warming, it goes into climate engineering, and people's minds aren't so made up about whether or not it's a good thing to do.

Have a look at this as well for more data (or the same data) and visualizations.
