Unprecedented global warming?

I think not. See how by choosing to only show temperatures back to 1400AD the current temperature increases (well up to 10 years ago) look unprecedented. Expand the 800 AD and the maximum temperature of the Medieval Warm Period dwarfs present day temperatures and yet London was not under water. Extend the period even further and you see even higher temperatures around 1,200 years ago. Extend the period back beyond 10,000 years and the previous high temperatures are even more evident. Go back further and you can see the end of the previous ice age. Go back further and you will see that the Earth is indeed in a warming period, one that has lasted about 9,000 years and doesn't the "hockey stick" look small. Finally go back 400,000 years or more and you see the regular cold and warm cycles and how the patterns look so regular. You will also note that is not the warmest and that is most likely to follow the warmth is not ever increasing temperatures but a rapid drop in temperatures. The influence some "insects... crawling on the planet's face" have on the earth's climate is minute and far outweighed by the influence of the sun and other factors. Global Warming/Man Made Climate Change is a con; it's about world governance, taxation and of course control.


On the last graph the increased "noise" in the "recent" graphing is due to more figures being available, not to more variation.
