that temperatures have dropped (or more accurately, shown negligible warming) in "the past 10 years" is pretty easy to check. Um, try this site: http://www.woo

that temperatures have dropped (or more accurately, shown negligible warming) in "the past 10 years" is pretty easy to check. Um, try this site: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/wti/last:120/plot/wti/last:120/trend/plot/wti/last:120 http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/wti/last:120/plot/wti/last:... (Note that the "woodfortrees index" is a composite that combines a variety of standard temperature series, the better to avoid arguments as to which series to use. But if you're especially partial to one series or another, you can select those too. eg, here's Hadcru4 global mean: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut4gl/last:120/plot/hadcrut4gl/last:120/trend/plot/hadcrut4gl/last:120 http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut4gl/last:120/plot/ha... ) (the samples are monthly, so specifying "120 samples" gets you exactly ten years, starting and ending near the same (most recent) month.)
