First, you are quoting Soon's interpretation which, as was shown above, seems to be a little biased and in some places just plain wrong.

Second, even if Soon is correct I am not sure I follow your point here. My comment was about the MWP and your comment is about a data set that covers the LIA.

My comment still stands.

You are obviously not following my point. Soon was quoting the paper as showing anomalous 20th century warming (which is not surprising since the data starts in the LIA). I looked at the raw data and drew my own conclusion which is that the warming is during the 1930's and 40's (with cooling since). Your comment was this:

I believe that the MWP may well be warmer than the early part of the 20th century, roughly on par with the average temperature of the 20th century and slightly cooler than the recent decades (say 1985 onwards).

The data shows that there was warming in 1930's and 1940's. Your comment is at least leaning heavily.
