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.

I do wish you would stick to facts.
A. I have not once mentioned anything about a hockey stick, far less kept banging on about it.
B. It follows from A that I have not commented on the data therein.
C. No, I am not telling you and have never told you that we didn't have industrialisation until 1975.
D. You don't know what my predefined position is. You just assumed it. As did Clippo, incidently.
E. It follows from D that you don't which other scientists are on my side.
I'll tell you what. Next time I reply to one of your posts, I'll leave mine blank. Then you can just fill it in with what you think I said. That'll be no different to what you seem to do anyway, and it'll save me some time and effort.
Have a nice day, Sunshine.
