As I stated already in one of my early comments, there has certainly been variability in the temperatures, we all have known that all the time. The instrumental data has clear indication of variability with a period of about 60 years, but the whole period is too short for drawing strong conclusions of that. (There’s also evidence of earlier oscillations of roughly the same period, but that evidence is weaker and a different issue.)
What I protested so strongly is that the graph of Girma gave very strongly the impression that the variability has been much more regular than it has been in reality. All this “extra evidence” was spurious, there isn’t anything that has not been known all the time. The evidence is as weak or as strong as it was before.
