That's the claim of Anthony Watt, climate denial populist who is being the recent finding that therefore is volcanic activity believe the ice to dismiss previous claims of warming above.

Arguing with (the claims of) climate-change denialists is a guaranteed win, at least in your own mind, although perhaps not on the world stage. When you pick something this stupid to argue with, it says something about your willingness to seek a challenge instead of making fun of stupid people. It's pretty easy to get people to agree with you, here. Get on a denialist forum and subject yourself to punishment that will dwarf anything I can hand out. I'm just saying it's easy to play to a friendly crowd. This is not skepticism of AGW I am handing you but skepticism of the dynamic of internet debate-by-proxy.
