Lol, if you carefully look at the "temperature anomaly" graph in the middle of the article, you will find that the light blue line is not a moving average (like any honest scientist would do), but several piecewise linear segments made by linking a few convenient extreme points.
Like, choose an unusually hot year (1998?) and then draw a straight line after that to give a false impression that the curve is flat.
Now that we're in 2021, we can see more data - turns out 1998, an unusually hot year (and the hottest in record since 1880), would be an unusually cold year if it happened right now.
