And I am embarassed, but not surprised, to have to explain this to you MM.  For several centuries in the middle ages the world was in a mini-ice age but, except for the influence it had on how the world's social and economic development, it is of little consequence to us today.  People who actually think on occasion, rather than swallow whole cloth the biased blather of a rightwing blog, would likely say that what is transpiring today is more important than what happened between 1958 and 1979!  Today...March 8, 2016...right now...as you mix your first martini...as you get prepared and comfortable to listen to your favorite rightwing radio falsehood mongers...the world is getting a little warmer at an acclerating rate!!  I will continue, as will most people with any sense, to give a little bit of the benefit of the doubt to NOAA's interpretation of its own report than to a nut's interpretation!

Now, since you so love talking "average" over the last 58 years, go and see what world temps have done over the last 100 years and report back to us!!
