Thats is an odd graph. everyone that i have seen shown a up slope in those years. why is this one different?

Possibly because this one is an honest graph?

Just a thought.

Could possbly be because it is a temperature history for Albany, New York, as opposed to the few places on the earth where temperture trends happen to be positive enough to make a global index look positive.

click yer clicker thang here >>> Data @ NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis Maps

All depends on the temperature datasets used and how you weight/adjust them constructing an index. [ssspt, just ignore that little man behind the curtain]

I doubt it's odd at all. While I haven't plotted it out, I have looked up the NWS temperature records for my city, (Pittsburgh) actual measurements, which officially go back to 1871. Without even plotting it's obvious from looking at the tabular data that it would follow a similar declining best fit curve as that chart does with all of the hottest years occurring before 1950 and the coldest years by far occurring in the 1970s.

The rising slope you see constantly from the Global Warming Swindlers is a fictitious number based on an "average" global temperature. A new paper published shows how that number is statistically meaningless from a scientific standpoint and really tells us nothing about trends.

And why didn't I notice your post before this? It could be a conspiracy! (Or not.)

Here is where I found it.

The graph for New York City is pretty steeply up during the same period. Maybe the Global Warming hasn't made it up the river to Albany yet.
