I have made the same point in earlier posts: The choice of the length of the time series from which to define "climate" is completely arbitrary, and different lengths produce different results. This choice makes it appear the Earth is heating, while that choice makes it appear it's cooling.
I have news for Germany. If they were to choose centuries, they are in for a rude awakening. A centuries-long window will most certainly not show Earth as heating.
