Rhetorically, unable to rebut the statistics @ 13, he wishes both to distract from the 1910 - 1945 period, to dismiss the relevance of statistics in favour of popular reports and ancedotes (hence the dismissive comment about the «numbers guy»), and (apparently) to assert that the period from 1945 to 1974 consituted not just a pause, as he has previously argued, but an actual decline in global mean surface temperature.

Suggested Topic: The recent slowdown in global mean surface temperature has nevertheless been accompanied by increasingly severe large scale circulation anomalies.
