Not a very good answer.... why wouldn't an additional 35 years of accurate temp. readings not make a difference?
I don't know the specific answer, Norm, because I spend 8 hours a day doing my OWN data analysis, not theirs. And when I do it, I sometimes make statements exactly like the one you are referring to, because it illustrates a point to be made. "Look here at how our hardware is performing. Compare that to how it was performing between 2000 and 2005." Why would I say something like that? Because its an easy way to get my point across to a room full of people who want to understand the scope of the issue, but don't want to spend an hour having me explain it to them.
No, I don't know why he picked those specific years, but the fact that he did isn't anything significant. If you think he's hiding something, go look at the data yourself:
That's sort of the point. The data is available to *everyone* and it is scrutinized by plenty of scientists. They aren't used car salesmen trying to sneak something past you with tricky language.
Good grief, its 2016.......why are we still having this debate??!!!!
