No, it really is all about global temperature (you may not have noticed).

So are you saying you've looked at the long term trends (2,000 year plus) and believe you can see a difference in recent trends? With temperature going up and down, and higher in the past, I admire your keen eye. I don't think it really needs a stat analysis to see that recent temperature changes are nothing unusual.

You lost me on this one - what is the connection with macros and submarines??

Again, all I'm suggesting is that others grab the data and form their own opinions. Don't take anyone's word for it, including mine.

One I forgot to mention was ocean temperature (currently dropping). Argo provides software that allows you to see plots and images of ocean temperature and trends, for those that want to see for themselves. http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/Marine_Atlas.html . It's about 400 meg download.
