Ah....that must be why you choose to focus so narrowly on the past 75 years when the available climate data should actually be considered in the light of the past 250,000
Eh? Let's see now.... 75/250×10³ is .0003.
Gosh your criticizing him for using sixteen thousandths of the available info when your about 550 percent worse.....hmmmmm

If you're trying to make the point I think you're trying to make ... 250,000 years doesn't do it ... it was 30 million years ago when permanent ice started appearing a low elevations ... and really we need to look at 100 million years ago to see some profoundly warm conditions ... tropical from pole to pole ... we find dinosaur bones in Alaska from a time Alaska was actually
closer to the North Pole ... the Earth's climate is cold right now, coldest it's been since the beginning of the Cambrian ... half a billion years ago and almost all the history of life on land ... (BTW, the hottest month on record is September 249,668,642 BC, unless you want to look before May 4,742,837,467 BC, hahaha) ...
But scientifically accurate thermometers haven't been in wide distribution until about 1880 ... and I agree with you 100% that 140 years of data doesn't allow us to
credibly predict the next 140 years ... but then it naturally follows that daily extreme temperatures with only 140 data points is as normal as normal can be ... for 6,000 weather stations worldwide, we average 60 events that have a 1% probability of occurring (hundred year event) ...
I'm criticizing anyone who uses daily temperature records to make their point ... both sides of the discussion ... they're not that meaningful ...
