It doesn't change the fact that lack of volcanic activity contributed to
warming early last century, because warming is only what a thermometer measures, and this volcanic activity thing is the thing you are denying.
They can explain
some warming early last century, but can not explain total 20th century warming.
You have already shown a complete inability or unwillingness to grasp the incredibly obvious causes of
warming early last century, so I'm not going to waste my time with someone like that.»

This conclusion is confirmed by many studies finding that while the sun contributed to
warming in the
early 20th
Century, it has had little contribution (most likely negative) in the
last few decades:
SAT observations and model simulations indicate that the nature of the arctic
warming in the
last two decades is distinct from the
early twentieth -
century warm period.
Victor @ 244 complains about people trying to allegedly minimise the
warming period
early last century.
-- Lyu et al., 2016 Within the

warm period during Medieval times, centennial - scale cooling during the 14th to 19th
centuries, and another
warm period since the
early 20th
century.
Back in the MWP a solar increase could cause that couple of tenths of a degree of
warming that they infer from paleo records, as it could
early in the 20th
century too when the sun strengthened, but that didn't
last till today.
In this
last century, the solar increase in the
early part may have helped the
warming before 1940.
In
early 2006, James Hansen, director of NASA GISS, pointed out that five of the
warmest years over the
last century were in the previous eight years: 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.
If the
warming trend of the
early 20th
century had continued (it didn't) until the end of the 21st
century (2099), global temperatures would have increased by +1.92 °C; yet despite the huge modern era CO2 spike, if the
warming trend represented by the
last 3 decades continued (it won't), the increase by 2099 would only be +1.72 °C.
Following a
warming trend
early in the 20th
century and mid-
century cooling, surface air temperatures in the Arctic have shown a strong increase over the
last few decades,
warming at about twice the global average.
Which is essentially what BEST has done with their
early temperatures with an exception: BEST imply that the global temperature of 1750 CAN NOT have been as
warm as it has been for the
last few
centuries.
Last night he told The Mail on Sunday: «A significant share of the
warming we saw from 1980 to 2000 and at
earlier periods in the 20th
Century was due to these cycles — perhaps as much as 50 per cent.
As I discussed previously, the Arctic has
warmed rapidly over the
last century but this
warming has occurred in two phases with an
early century warm period (1910 - 1950) and a late -
century warm period (1975 - present).
The increasing power of computer reconstructions since MBH98 and 99 resulted in the more sophisticated «spaghetti graphs» using multiple proxies, which somewhat modified the findings of the
earlier hockey stick, but reinforced the notion of a world rapidly
warming over the
last century, in a manner unprecedented for at least a thousand years.
If there was any truth to the claims that global
warming stopped in the
last 10 years, or since 1998, or since 1995, or whatever the latest claim is, then we can see from the
earlier 20th
Century example that we would already be seeing clear signs of that in declining trends over the
last several 30 - year periods.
You aren't thinking about the
warming period
early last century, because we know it was a relatively brief period, and so lacked huge significance, and was caused by a combination of CO2 emissions, high solar activity and low volcanic activity and the later two factors haven't been apparent since the 1970's modern
warming period.
In this paper, Broecker correctly predicted «that the present cooling trend will, within a decade or so, give way to a pronounced
warming induced by carbon dioxide», and that «by
early in the next
century [carbon dioxide] will have driven the mean planetary temperature beyond the limits experienced during the
last 1000 years».
They found that the sun contributed only about 10 % of surface
warming in the
last century and a negligible amount in the

century, less than in
earlier assessments.»
