The chart is good because it shows actual measurements, but I'm concerned about the baseline being 1970. It is possible that measurements prior to 1970 are higher and make the projected measurements look worse than they are, especially since many charts for mid-Atlantic sites were clearly on a downward trend shortly after 1970.
I'm not saying there is an intentional attempt to bamboozle readers. It's just hard to judge the report on such a short time scale.
EDIT: I'm not a climate denialist, but I have many people in my life who are. I was really looking forward to showing them this website but refrained knowing that they would come back with the argument I mentioned.
