You realise that there is an entire paper in Science about how they synthesised the various temperature records? http://www.usu.edu/geo/physical/MarcottEtal_Science_2013.pdf

If you have something constructive to say about the methodology then let us know rather than making ignorant comments that tell us more about your political ideology than about the science.

Another comment notes of that paper:The Science paper says their reconstruction is smoothed and has low time resolution. They say it displays no variation at all on timescales <300 years, and attenuates even 1,000 year variations. Superimposing this with the 30-year Hadley data seems misleading, because it is on a very short timescale which is suppressed from the older data.

Let me guess, you're a Republican?

The OP made a perfectly legitimate observation. People should be skeptical of anyone trying to prove a point by showing a graph.

Thanks for posting a link to the actual science.
