See Figure 3 and Figure 7 (top, CH TLT). If what you say is correct, why is the trend +0.183 K per decade? Why are there hardly any cold regions in the global decadal trend map?

Why cut off the range between 70 and 82 degrees South, where the maps plainly show temperatures plunging? Discarding data that doesn’t support your hypothesis is the hallmark of corrupt, lying, pseudo-scientists. They could’ve balanced off their globe by chopping off the 70-82 degrees North region, but that would have also sent their trend data plunging.

What you are really asking seems to be why the data differs, even though JustDoItAlways includes only your sources’ cherry-picked range. I seem to recall an awful lot of “upward revisions” because of “normalizing issues” and “statistical methods.”

Of course, if a slow, steadt, building trend is suddenly reversed, a straight-line trend-line will fail to show the reversal.
