was it not you that posted claims about the solar cycle and how the past few decades have been "the most dramatic warming in millions of years"?

This seems to imply that you had some data for the years 1310 to 1350....or was your claim more of a lopsided comparison sort of thingy? (buttressed by an imposing sun image, of course).

You linked to this thread. Did you intend to link to a different thread?

For anyone who missed it, this is my summary of the video referenced in the OP by DoubtingThomas.

Chap wrote:A lively and well-presented video.

Takeaway point: variation in solar activity is extremely unlikely to be connected with the global warming and consequent climate change of past decades. That's down to greenhouse gases. Which means us.

The North Atlantic region isn't the entire globe dude. Stop watching too much Fox News.

Is this what subbie is slowly getting to. He is going to present the medieval warm period? What part of "average GLOBAL temperature" do people not understand?

I don't think subgenius is 'getting to' anything. He's just enjoying wasting people's time. Half the time, he posts stuff that suggests he pays no real attention to what his interlocutors say.

Only half the time?
