"So I don't dispute the cooling,"

globally?!? you dont dispute LIA as a whole?!? Then why quibble fo this data point?

"but I am questioning the cause."

I've not disputed the fact you raise, just what it means in the wider context of the discussion. This discussion is becoming too pedantic for such a forum and we are disagreeing over validity of sources anyway, so ... have a good day.

Let me repeat, no one who has studied this seriously disputes the existence of the LIA. In regards to the data point, I will always quibble where science is used to support non-scientific ideas.

In regards to data sources, I don't think we disagree on these. I think we are disagreeing on scientific methodology. Soon used good data sources but applied a wrong methodology.
