“Is the warming in the 20th century extraordinary?“ Frank Lansner guest-posts on Anthony Watts blog, this time with a “proof” that all this warming is nothing to worry about.

You see, we’ve had natural periods of warming in the past and they never got much higher than where we’re at right now. So clearly it’s going to stop warming soon too, and amateur data plots prove it!

Squish anything together enough and you can hide whatever you want.

But weren’t all those earlier periods of warming caused by natural cyclic inputs over thousands of years? And isn’t this one caused by abrupt and open-ended human inputs? Not such a good bed-time story after-all, even though Anthony’s “skeptical” readers are rapt.
