If you could imagine a single picture that represented the unwillingness of Canadians and Americans to, for the most part, grasp global warming and the changes required, could you imagine something better than this?

Duh, of course it is going to look like that when you use a base period of 1971 - 2000. The government doesn't want you to see what it looks like if you go back to 1969 and include up to 2005... This graph also proves that vaccines are evil. And notice how the blue dots just happen to show where H1N1 hit the hardest in October? Coincidence? I think not, all those people living in the middle of the ocean are really getting screwed with the swine flu... ;-)

PS: I know you know I'm kidding, but your blog readers probably don't. Are they producing those graphs for each month and do you have a link to them?

Yes, they come from the NOAA. Best place to find the link is at www.climateprogress.org . They posted it just a couple days ago.

Teehee! You actually make a good point though: thirty years is a very narrow time frame. I like looking at the much longer timeframes, just for more smoothing of the spikes.
