The magic number is 17 years...

The magic number is 17 years...  The graph at right shows 17 years of satellite global temperature measurements (the red line), and the trend line through it (the green line).  What's the significance?

1.  The trend is almost perfectly flat, the data sources are replicated, verified, calibrated, and unimpeachable, and the tabulation is cross-checked.  It's observational data, not models.

2.  AGW proponents, starting in 2011, have been saying that 17 years was the minimum set of data needed to unambiguously observe anthropogenic global warming.  This is their assertion, their standard.

The warmies are going to be in need of funding soon, I think.  I predict they will suddenly discover the imminent danger of global cooling, and will agitate for funds to study that...
