If you look at the EIA graph here, you see a significant increase from between early 2009 and the end of 2011.
If you look at Mr. Nelder's graph from eight months ago, there is a plateau around the end of 2008.
The discrepancy is the data source. 8 months ago, Mr. Nelder was trumpeting Art Berman's "debunking" of the production numbers reported by the EIA. Now, Mr. Nelder has endorsed these numbers, and has conveniently forgotten this "plateau since 2009" story he was telling 8 months ago.
The graph is right there at the top of the post ....
