Default Re: 1934 Was the Hottest? 1050 AD Was MUCH Hotter

Oh? 20 years makes a trend with regard to weather?
Your standards are almost as low as the Man-Causes-Global-Warming Cult Priests (Al Gore, etc...)

In the medieval warming period, Greenland was green. The Vikings could grow crops and had plentiful grass to feed their animals. If we had thermometers during that time, the 1934 temp record would have been smashed....EASILY.

I already explained to you that this logic is WRONG. The relevant figure is the average global temperature. Changes in the average global temperature combine increases in some places with decreases in other places. Looking at a single local temperature, like Greenland, DOES NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THE AVERAGE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE. It's like saying that global inflation must be 200% if the price of a single good doubles.
