13) “Scientists looking at the wrong ‘lousy’ data” http://
14) Cold nights getting colder in Northern Hemisphere

I think this graph would draw less critical comment if it started in 1990.
Starting the graph just prior to the super El Nino of 1998 makes it look as if the start date has been “cherry-picked” and it is not necessary to cherry-pick to make the point. The data from 1990 to the present supports your main point.
