By the way, when skeptics say there's been "no warming for the last decade", they often mean this: http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/wti/last:120/plot/wti/last:120/trend http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/wti/last:120/plot/wti/last:... That one works even if you use GISS - the trend for the last ten years is cooling. (The trend over several other recent periods is "warming, but not very much".) Note: the way I plotted "the last ten years" was to plot the last 120 monthly samples. The WRONG way to do that is to specify a "From" year and plot to the current day, because the resulting chart wouldn't start and end on the same month.
