How Phony Climate Skeptics Convince the Gullible
Best graphic I’ve seen showing how the fake skeptics (i.e. industry shills) do it.

BEST land-only surface temperature data (green) with linear trends applied to the timeframes 1973 to 1980, 1980 to 1988, 1988 to 1995, 1995 to 2001, 1998 to 2005, 2002 to 2010 (blue), and 1973 to 2010 (red).
It’s amazing what can happen when you manipulate the sample to make your point. It’s easy to debunk, but you have to know it’s happening. Read the whole article, it’s a good primer on the fake skeptic’s tactics.
