All the modern warm period data you present is the basis of your left wing politics and your anti Koch Bros rants and ravings. That is obvious when put in the context of ice core data below. Note the cooling trend? Enjoy the interglacial while it lasts. We should all hope the current cooling is not the end of the interglacial:

Wharfie, they make the unfounded assertion that the temperature increase < is likely to be an indication of anthropogenic changes.> More likely, the upward trend was due to the continued end of the Little Ice Age which ended the Genghis Khan marauding era which got underway during the Medieval warming. The reason the warming is due to the end of the Little Ice Age is because when snow melts and Little Ice Ages end, or big glaciations, there is more sunlight absorption into green grass and dirt than into white reflective snow. That extra absorption warms things up in a happy feedback loop. < The analysis shows that the rise in average world land temperature globe is approximately 1.5 degrees C in the past 250 years, and about 0.9 degrees in the past 50 years.> That says half the increase in temperature was long before human CO2 emissions got going from coal and hydrocarbons, so it was obviously not caused by that. It suggests the other half of the increase might also not be due to the CO2 emissions. Mqurice
