GISS Temperature Numerology

I say numerology, because three decades or more are needed to see changes in climate (and the 30-yr trend for GISS's global temperature anomalies is still 0.16°C/decade).

But if there was going an end to the (equally un-climactic) "hiatus," you'd expect it to first show up in short-term trends. Like this:
