The hockey stick you keep banging on about covers 1,000 years.
And the data presented therein doesn't exactly match up with the real data.

I'll tell ya what's happening here. You're looking at incredibly small periods of time which suit your pre-defined position (as noted by your observation that 1975 is a "long way short" of the present day). Your hockey stick guy and all the other scientists on your side are doing the same: they're fitting the data to match their pre-defined position.
A bit like how Labour used an anomalous year on which to base their speed cameras/road deaths statistics.
Now, as far as I'm concerned any scientist who does this isn't a scientist at all - they're a politician.
