Even cherry-picking an extremely unrepresentative starting year can not hide the increase in global temperatures over the last 20 years if you look at the graphs. But human CO2 emissions got huge from the 1950s, so an appropriate time scale is the last 70 years at a bare minimum. It should go back to the industrial revolution really. A clean comparison period is desirable, as long as possible. Fortunately we do have many methods of measuring temperature proxies before thermometers even existed.

If you are fixated on thermometers, since the industrial revolution in the late 19th century, "Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with 16 of the 17 warmest years on record occurring since 2001."

Or maybe you are smarter than an organisation of actual rocket scientists?
