So, 11 of the warmest years on record in the last 13 years has no meaning?
Anthony Watts has generated a huge amount of blogospheric attention with his report on Steve McIntyres recalculation of temperature trends. It turns out that the Y2K bug skewed previous data from this decade.
Four of the top 10 years of US CONUS high temperature deviations are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, 1938 and 1939, while only 3 of the top 10 are from the last 10 years (1998, 2006, 1999). Several years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) fell well down the leaderboard, behind even 1900.

Crap. The US is 2% of the worlds area. We are talking about the worldwide temperatures. And the top 11 of those have occured in the last 13 years.
Anthony Watts is an expert at creating lies out of half truths. And the people that read his material and fail to research the sources are fools.
