Even on your graph, the temperatures all go toward a warming trend in recent times. And while we're at it, lets contemplate this graph from the same Wikipedia site you refer to.

This is the 1000 year graph hosted locally



The black line on this graph is the "instrumental record", which is what your attached graph shows.

The other methods of measurement don't completely agree with the instrumental record, but all agree on warming for the last 130-160 years.

ETA: except for Mr. Red, there, who also seems to be the most extreme.

Well Sam was sad with the level of polarization, so it occurred to me that we can find agreement. Here we are all in agreement. Step 1.

I dont think the intent of the upcoming UN Conference on Climate Change is to screw the people.

But I suspect we wont have unanimous agreement on that.
