The trend is based on the fact that global temperatures this decade are considerably higher than the decades of the 1990s.
Yesterday, I added the following sentence to the introduction:
"However, according to the first chart in this article, global temperatures have not increased since 1998."
11 minutes later, William M. Connolley erased it. His only comment was, "yeah yeah."
Looking over the edit history, I see that William M. Connolley has a long term track record of erasing anything and everything that disagrees with his own ideas. He favors censorship. He is against the article being balanced.
It is a fact that global temperatures have not increased in the past decade. This goes completely against all the computer models and all the predicitons.
When confronted with evidence that contraditcs his theory, a good scientist will acknowledge the evidence. A bad scientist will try to pretend that the evidence doesn't exist.

First off, "first chart in this article" is poorly worded. Secondly, the statement was wrong, and didn't even bother to look at the trend either. Also, you gave no source to back up this nonsense. Forth, your personal attack on William is unfounded. Just because he reverts pundits and cranks doesn't mean he "censors" anything. Please learn how to contribute constructively. Thanks.
