Just go get HadCET yourself and do some analysis: <a href="http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcet/" rel="nofollow">http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcet/</a>  I wouldn't listen to the rantings of The Daily Telegraph, and specifically not this commentator: <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/jamesdelingpole/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/jamesdelingpole/</a><p>OK.  Downvote me then, but if you read the original blog post he's talking about (<a href="http://motls.blogspot.com/2010/01/warming-trends-in-england-from-1659.html" rel="nofollow">http://motls.blogspot.com/2010/01/warming-trends-in-england-...</a>) and you look at the '30 year bands' he's chosen they are cherry picked.  And he's saying 'Look here in 1661 or whatever it warmed faster than it's warming now'.  Seeing fast warming in central English in the past doesn't disprove man-made global warming now.<p>If you dig into his Mathematica code and take a look at it you'll see a plot he's made (which he doesn't blog about) that looks just like the global warming trend plots everyone is putting out.<p>See: <a href="http://imgur.com/K8Pcn.png" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/K8Pcn.png</a><p>Wonder why that doesn't get a mention?
