By putting 2001 as the beginning and end point, the effects of the 1998 EL Nino had passed.You didn't bypass anything. You included the 1997/98 El Nino data in the early trends and eliminated the 2015/16 El Nino in the later trends therefore completely biasing the comparisons you are making in favor of the denialist position.
You are doing exactly what you claim should not be done! And as far as I have seen you and your fellow denialists have been doing this repeatedly for years.
The complaint in the past is that people referenced the pause to a known El Nino high point in 1998,
which is true, but the same high point was also used by the alarmist to show rapid warming.
By ending the trend line on 2001, the temperatures have returned to the more basic trend.
