Regarding your chart of data, I wonder what the trend would be if you eliminated just one of those data points in the 1998 time frame. Those are obviously clunkers and clearly out of family based on the chart. I would have to have that data confirmed before I bought it blindly.

My guess is this would show COOLING in both hemispheres. That would be terrible for the environmental movement.

The spike was caused by "El Nino". This is a well-known fact.
