The trend line of that data set over the last 18 years is very close to flat.  What that means is that there has been no appreciable warming over the last 18 years.  Of course there is variability you silly fool, global climates are always variable and will always be variability especially on a yearly basis.  You see in basic mathematics that is how you analyze a data set to determine long term trends.  Grade school stuff really....maybe middle school.  Now there was warming in the middle of the graph after it cooled from the late 50s. You have now quadrupled down on stupid.....do you want to keep going.  This is really amazing to me.
