Re: Someone cast Wolven Winter on New Orleans!
1.) Your chart stops ten years ago. Temperature hasn't been rising for several years now.
2.) It's still not consistent. Quoting from your own link, "Figure 1 shows a rise of about 0.6 K since 1910 and no trend between 1940-75." Sometimes it rises, sometimes it falls. In the 20th century it rose more often than it fell, and there was a net temperature gain. In some other centuries, there wasn't.
Global mean temperature is not "gradually, and consistently increasing." (Even if you can come up with a sensible definition of a global "mean".)
