I'd also add that even if temps dropped over the next five or ten years, we'd still have a longterm increasing trend. As far as a trend is concerned, the next decade isn't as important as the last five. Which brings up - why would a person put a trend on the last ten years of data when we have good data on the last 100? Odd. Especially considering the trend slants less than the error bars - that's not a good sign for representing the trend.

I agree with this. More data is better and yes there is a positive trend over the last 100. But we have charts that go back even farther than that which show a decreasing trend. I never have said my 10 year chart was the best chart out there. I simply stated in that 10 year period it is in a downward trend..
