Of course the type of fuel matters...


I am also a bit puzzled as to what the graphs on WUWT are supposed to show.

The graph shown right at the top when you click Rockstar's link has the caption:
"RSS satellite data showing the 18 year ‘pause’ of global warming"

But that's not what it shows, does it?

The second graph is the first one under the 18-26 year statistically significant ‘pause’ in global warming link.

Ok, again it is supposed to show a 19-year pause, but why not include the trend?

Perhaps because it would show no 'pause':

The third graph is a the next one down which, again, is supposed to show a 'pause'.

Here's the actual graph (NOTE: Uses v04 dataset instead of v03_3, since it has been updated):
