Play fair.
"Most sane scientists recognize this to be due to the upward swing of a very long term natural ~1000 year temperature cycle whose last high point occurred around 1000AD and whose last low point occurred around 1500AD."
Medieval Warm Period = 950 AD to 1250 AD
Little Ice Age = 1550 AD to 1850 AD
Come on cosserat, it is not fair to bring both science and historical facts into a global warming discussion.
