Really, in all recorded history? Even the 1930's?

Look at the recorded data from then; not todays revised data, but the original temperature measurements as recorded then. This was not just a North American or northern hemispheric climate pattern but a worldwide phenomenon, whereby almost all of the highest recorded annual temperatures since daily measurements started in the 19th century occurred. It’s not hyperbole but incontrovertible fact. Ocean going ships traversed the Northern Passage in the 30's, and haven’t been able to since. It tells me that there was less Arctic Ice in the 30's than today. Do you dispute this?

You have the right to your beliefs, particularly when backed by sound science, but you do not, indeed cannot, have your own facts which contradict the very recorded history your supposed facts would deny. Facts such as this has been the warmest decade on record. For that to be a correct fact worldwide recorded temperatures from the 1930's would have to be lowered by over 6 degrees Fahrenheit from their original measured recordings.

Also, how do you account for the sudden upward spike in global temperatures right after all the Siberian measuring stations were removed from the global equations. Over half of all the warming since ‘79 can be traced to the loss of those cold weather monitoring stations.

You’re the scientist, tell me how you’d square those tidbits with the fallacious “97% of”? You do know how that 97% figure was derived, don’t you? If you don’t; do some honest research. You’ll be shocked. All the while that meme has been used to browbeat anyone who has the temerity to question the prevailing wisdom. Even though questioning is supposed to be the foundational basis for scientific inquiry.

Here are a few things to consider. Now perhaps you consider these to be entirely debunked, yet cannot the same be said for every conclusion and projection ever drawn by global warmist/alarmist? Pay particular attention to the first video when he exposes the first usage of the 97% meme. John the TIB Rick Fischer
