While this methodology doesn't eliminate your point that the trends from different periods in the observed record (or from different observed datasets) fall at various locations within our model - derived 95 % confidence range (clearly they do), it does provide justification for using the most recent data to show that sometimes (including currently), the observed trends (which obviously contain natural variability, or, weather noise) push the envelop of model trends (which also contain weather noise).
