Not so fast FauxdiRocks.. You're quoting one Hockey Stick era study that was there to confirm the flatness of the previous surface temp record.. The REAL SCORECARD is below...
Note the number of studies that show the MWP to be significant and EXCEEDING the common era warming. I'm supposing that your effort to save Mann's silly ass exceeds your conscience to even CONSIDER the majority report on the topic..
So you are relying on MINORITY consensus to make the case that something this significant DID NOT HAPPEN.. In fact -- I HATE tree rings and mud sediments, but there is AMPLE evidence for a GLOBAL impact of the MWP.
PLENTY of evidence that you HAVE to ignore to stay as ignorant as you want to be...
Ice cores, and sediments and tree rings --- Oh MY! Ice cores and sediments and tree rings --
OH MY !!!!
