First off, don't assume I won't look at your data. I'm quite happy to look into anything you have to show me about the warm periods. You are wrong about them being debunked. I do know, for instance, that a lot of the warmers claim the medieval warm period was restricted to just Europe. That, however, has been disproved several times. For instance, see the following:

Anyway, my point is, contrary to what warmers claim, the debate is very far from over. Personally I haven't decided what's going on except that I don't believe we have a very good idea at all and that this has become such a politicalised issue even the scientists have become politicians.

climate gate was clearly a pre-orchestrated (and successful) attempt to throw international climate negotiations off track. that's what it was. and to confuse the public about climate change for as long as possible.

look at NASA data yourself, or other data from institutions around the world keep track of this. there is no uncertainty.

For instance, "warmers" often deny that the Roman and Medieval warm periods didn't exist at all (e.g. Michael Mann's hockey stick graph) or the ice ages. They deny that the poles have melted multiple times (and somehow the polar bears survived) or that the history books USED to call the medieval warm period as the "Age of Plenty", where there were vineyards in Scotland and cattle grazing in Greenland.

I'll admit I haven't read the article yet (I will now) but I just wanted make sure if you are going to use derogatory terms like "denier" then you should at least argue their position correctly.

BTW – the climategate scandal was more about the abysmally poor professional/scientific conduct of these so called leading authorities on the topic; as well as they're very poor methodologies. And if you want to discuss being bad at math, you may want to do some of your own research regarding the trouble NASA is in now for it's own bad math (not having had any actual mathematicians in the GISS, they apparently missed the fact that our atmosphere is 3D, and grossly over-estimated earth's "Energy Budget". There has long been huge disagreement internally at NASA as to the validity of their own reports (see: http://climatology.suite101.com/article.cfm/no-gr….
