<font color="red">that claim was never made. The claim was that a 20 year temperature "trend" is meaningless in "climatological time" and cited the length of previous heating and cooling periods.</font>

Really?

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.

This sounds like "Greenland was warmer implies global temperature was higher" to me.

And how does "the temperature was higher in Greenland during a prior warming period" (which is the full restatement) translate to "we aren't in a warming period now"?. Hint: It doesnt.
Again, no one is disputing that we may be in a warming period. The revised data may indicate the warming period is less severe than previously claimed. What is being pointed out is that there have ALWAYS been warming and cooling periods.
