[Power Line] But that fact (a warmer MWP) has little relevance to the question of the cause of current warming (if indeed such warming exists). Therefore, when the hockey stick was first published, my attention focused on the fact that Michael Manns proxy record seemed to stop in 1979 and that the continuing temperature data came entirely from the Jones analysis of surface thermometers.

[I think this is the real explanation of “Mikes Nature trick,” referred to in the Climategate e-mails that speak of “hiding the decline.”] I immediately sent e-mails to Mann and questioned him about this point, asking him why his proxy temperature record suddenly stopped in 1979.
[US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum] The Medieval Warm(ish) Period In Pictures - US Message Board ...: It took place from about 950-1250 AD, and, as opposed to today's warming which is global in extent and due to human activities, the MWP was mainly a northern hemisphere phenomenon and smaller in scale. Indeed, the advance of North American glaciers during the MWP is in stark contrast to what is happening in North America today.
[stentbex] stentbex - Medieval Warm Period And Global Warming: One of the most often cited arguments of those skeptical of global warming is that the Medieval Warm Period (800-1200 AD) was as warm as or warmer than today. Site developed to help educate, inform and highlight the importance of paleoclimate research and to show how paleoclimate research relates to global warming.
[Watts Up With That?] The BBC's Richard Black Engages in Goldilocks-Picking | Watts Up ...: The extreme AGW proponents either ignore or are unaware of the cyclic warming and cooling of the planet that correlate with solar magnetic cycle changes. (The solar magnetic cycle changes cause an increase or decrease to the solar heliosphere and solar wind which in turn results in an increase or decrease in atmospheric ionization which in turn results in less or more low level clouds which results in more or less solar energy being reflected into space.)

[Cliftonchadwick's Blog] Global Warming: A Primer « Cliftonchadwick's Blog: It has become glaringly obvious to nearly everyone who pays attention that the alarmists alleged data are wrong, and their computer models are contradicted by observation. Rather than dealing with these fundamental issues as scientists, the alarmists have shifted into the political arena, smearing their critics and trying to jam major economic changes down our throats before more voters catch on to the fact that global warming alarmism is a fraud-an immensely profitable fraud for those who perpetrate it and for the crony industries that stand to profit by banning the efficient production of energy,
[Debunk House] The BBC's Richard Black Engaged in Goldilocks-Picking « Debunk House: This means that the late 20th century warming might have been slightly warmer than the peak of the MWP. Almost all of the potential error is in the direction of magnifying the warmth of the Modern Warming relative to the MWP, so the odds are that the modern warming is very comparable to the Medieval Warm Period.
[WOODTV.com Blogs » Bill's Blog] July continues warm and dry | WOODTV.com Blogs: Without comparing land-use maps from before and after, it would be difficult to say how much impact this would have on Michigan weather, but if we take you at your word, then it might explain fewer exceptionally hot days and sustained warmer periods with warmer lows. But, Bill, again this is a regional phenomenon.
[Business Insider] So, ClimatologistsWhatever Happened To Global Warming?: For there to be any faith in the underlying scientific assumptions the world has to start warming soon, at an enhanced rate to compensate for it being held back for a decade.

The simple explanation: Its the curvature and low angles of the sun…….that result in huge differences and problems in modeling the grids in the arctic anyway similar to the rest of the globe.
