Coincidentally, the title text of this famous xkcd:

> [After setting your car on fire] Listen, your car's temperature has changed before.

If you car is on fire, and inside temperature exceeded 70°C when all evidence points it never happened in the past 12 years you had the car, you can insist on measuring the past 24 hour average of interior temperature, because that's the granularity of past data, and claim that there is not enough evidence that anything is amiss.

Or you could just...

...hell, who am I kidding, feel free to say heat is part of nature, it's what mammals crave, and increasing temperature only means your car is more comfortable.

What's your evidence that you wouldn't have had these spikes earlier in history?

If you averaged that last part of the graph like the previous measurements it wouldn't show this spike.

That's the point here. It's misleading.

That doesn't mean there isn't a change in temperature.
