The chart you attached was the "adjusted trend” The raw data indicates no increase. that is why the trend has to be "adjusted" I have far too much respect for your intellect to suggest that for one second that you believe anything that you have just posted.

It's adjusted to account for KNOWN effects such as the southern oscillation, volcanoes, and measured aerosol albedo variations, which account for fluctuations superimposed on the warming trend....

It's probably a lost cause trying to explain to some people the basic concepts of multiple regression analysis. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
