That graph was from the National Snow and Ice Data Centers most recent update. The source was also on the figure. Anyway, Ill take your non-answer as a tacit admission of guilt vis-à-vis cherrypicking.Graph desigend on Barts computer is on its way.
I do have some more graphs for ya though:
Global Temperatures Continue To Surge In Record-Breaking October
How hot was October globally? It was not merely the hottest October by far in the 135-year temperature record of NASA (see chart above). Or the hottest October by far in the 125-year temperature record of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA):

It was the highest anomaly the highest divergence from the mean temperature ever recorded in the 1,600-month temperature record of NASA.
Why is it so hot? On top of the long-term warming trend caused by man-made carbon pollution is the short-term warming caused by a very strong El Niño. This is the biggest event since the super El Niño of 1997-1998 and it may even turn out bigger

Significantly, the 12-month running mean global temperature tends to lag the Niño 3.4 region temperature by four months, as a 2010 NASA study explained. If NOAA is right that the Niño 3.4 region wont peak until early winter, the record for the hottest 12-month period would probably not be set until spring 2016.
That means 2016 has a very good chance of beating the record 2015 is about to set.
