We need to be careful focussing upon «trends» — it can lead to serious errors of context — and this underlies the entire «
global warming» thesis which relies upon computer models with entirely false (i.e. non-natural) notions of an equilibrium starting point and calculations of trend — this conveniently ignores cycles, and it has to because a) there are several non-orbital cycles
in motion (8 - 10 yr, 11, 22, 60, 70, 80, 400 and 1000 - 1500) depending
on ocean basic, hemisphere and
global view — all interacting via «teleconnection» of those ocean basins, some clearly timed by solar cycles, some peaking together; b) because the cycles are not exact, you can not tell
in any one decade where you are
in the longer cycles.
