My argument in a picture so even Emerson understands

(Before It's News)

Craig EmersonTrade Minister Craig Emerson on our 2GB show this week again tried to deny there had been a 16-year pause in global warming.

His argument was bizarre – that there cannot have been such a pause because the average temperature of the past decade was higher than of the decade before.

I was cross with myself for not being able to make Emerson understand the fallacy of that argument. I used an analogy – that my 18-year-old son stopped growing a year or two ago, but his average height over the past couple of years is still greater than his average height before then.
