Good post, but I don't see why this is surprising. Afterall, the North Atlantic was warm enough to allow the Vikings to sail to N America in the 800's and settle there for a few generations. They couldn't do that today... (assuming there were still Vikings, of course)

It is not surprising, or new, for that matter...

A review of more than 240 scientific studies has shown that today's temperatures are neither the warmest over the past millennium, nor are they producing the most extreme weather - in stark contrast to the claims of the environmentalists.
