Anyone that wishes to engage in an honest discussion on AGW admits that a slight warming is occurring. One can of course cherry pick a data set and get the desired outcome. Torture the data long enough and it will confess to any sin you want. However if you cherry pick your data no one will take you seriously on the subject.
The image you used picked has as it's start date the year with the strongest El Nino on record which lead to an unusually high global temperature. An alarmist would (cherry) pick a chilly 1985 as a start date and thus the data would confess to a rapidly warming climate. Neither represents reality, the reality is the climate has been very stable for the past 200 years, sometimes slightly warming and sometimes slightly cooling. On the millennial scale the climate is on a long term cooling trend with ups, Roman Warm Period and downs, Little Ice Age.
You would be wise to stop blindly accepting what ever you favorite politician says as the gospel and spend a little time investigating things for your self.
