Confirmation bias - you chose the small window that confirmed what you were looking for.

Remove the influence of a particularly warm 2016 and your 7-year cooling trend turns into 7-year (going on 8) warming trend.

We have a one-day trend of significant cooling - should I plan for snow on Thanksgiving? On the other hand, the temperature trend from September until yesterday shows significant warming and suggests a very hot December. Perhaps the timeline for a "trend" needs to be a tad bit longer.

I am suspicious of why you still don't understand this.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
