1. By his own admission he SELECTS temperature records from particular places, places that do not reflect the global pattern. All very interesting, but you cannot extrapolate from atypical places! Anyway there is no need when you have global averages to work with. 2. Why on earth does he use a graph from 1990 when more up to date ones are available? Strangely enough much has been learnt since 1990, and the MWP was a regional not global phenomenon.
No, DuesExMachina, the burden of proof lies with everyone that is trying to prove anything. It has already been shown that Co2 levels follow temperature levels. Why? Because plants release Co2 and breed better in warmer temperatures. Yes, we give off Co2, breath in oxy, breath out Co2, plants take that Co2 and exhaust Oxy. Cool, it's a cooperative planet.
Yes! You are right. And it's after 1300, when temperatures were about as high. And 150.000 years ago, temperatures were also that high. Those Neandertals really screwed up this planet. Bastards!
About as high? The MWP was several tenths of a degree colder than current temperatures. And both the MWP and the Holocene warming can be explained through natural means.
Thanks for your answer. And this (the current) period cannot be explained by natural means? My point is, that there's still no conclusive evidence that there is a causal connection between co2 levels and the -assumed- rise of temperature.
Award winning climate scientist and IPCC lead author Dr John R. Christy Ph.D. debates global warming with Dr. William H. Schlesinger, biogeochemist and president of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies.
Dr. Christy represents the climate rationalist side and bases his arguments on real world observations. Dr. Schlesinger represents the global warming alarmist side and bases his arguments on computer models.
Temperatures always fluctuate for a reason. Temperatures could go up or down based on solar variation, volcanic activity, sulfur emissions, ENSO, PDO, etc.
The problem is, the 'natural' variables like solar activity indicate we should be experiencing global cooling, but we've actually experience .5 C of warming. The only explanation is man-made CO2.
By your logic, any degree of warming or cooling is perfectly A-OK. Of course, that's not true.

MUST WATCH FOR ALL WARMERS AND SKEPTICS.
