Whether prior temperatures were higher in prior periods is pretty darn important. Mann's hokey stick chart was meant to convince people that the climate over the past thousand years had been pretty stable and then suddenly at the beginning of the industrial age, temperatures started rising sharply without interruption and were now at an all time peak. If temperatures in the past were higher than today's, then it raises a question of whether today's temperatures are in line with normal cyclical variations.

...some prior temps might not have been higher? As I keep asking your crowd, what does this do to negate the sharply rising portion of the hockey stick, the portion for which we have measured data?
