French President Nicolas Sarkozy shows off his evident inability to read a simple graph

From this article:

"Bad news continues to emerge. Scientific models and empirical observations indicate that the events unfolding now confirm the experts' most gloomy scenarios," [Sarkozy] said.

"Faster-than-expected melting of ice in the polar regions comes as unwelcome proof."

Sarkozy's words don't match the data here.
