Re: That "pause"
John Hughes said "Central England? That's your idea for a proxy for the global temperature?"
"No, 'corse not" I thought, and scuttled off to the CRU Temperature Data page, where they have graphs of temperature time series called things like CRUTEM4, HadCRUT4 & HadSST3.
"Well, call me a Denialist" thought I - they all look pretty pausey too.
I wondered to myself where that data set is that dan1980 said was the basis for the utter fabrication?
Perhaps John Hughes might be able to point it out?
