If it's from GISS, why does it say "Junkscience.com" on it?

Let's wrap this up. 1998 was the warmest year in the record, with a major El Nino, according to NOAA. GISS puts 2005 above 1998, NOAA puts it just barely under 1998. Either way, there was no El Nino in 2005. For that to happen, there has to be an underlying warming trend -- like it or not, and not matter how Steve Milloy replots the data. If the El Nino in 1998 hadn't happened, this would not be an issue. As it was, it was so strong it yanked Spencer and Christy's recalcitrant MSU record into positive territory, and subsequenct corrections and years have made it more so.

No one said anything about an El Nino in 2005. The graph shows one in the winter of 06/07, which did occur, although relatively weak.

Probably because they are one of the most effective organizations in distributing data refuting junk scientists?
