Yes it was based on only Jan+Feb 2008 and padding with that final value
but John Kennedy has changed / shortly will change this misleading plot!

Hi Chris  (and Tom and Phil),

I hope you're all doing well. Just wanted to give you a heads up on
something. Have you seen this?

apparently the contrarians are having a field day w/ this graph.  My
understanding that it is based on using only Jan+Feb 08 and padding w/
that final value.

Surely this can't be??  Is Fred Singer now running the UK Met Office
website?

Would appreciate any info you can provide,

mike
