The start of the temperature rise, of course, as you yourself
noted after the following comments:

These are all serious issues, and I recommended in my
reply to Daggett that we should all try to discuss the
following long scientific report:
https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/
That is a rather difficult graph to grasp, but even so, one can see that the caption
to it is downright false:
"(Chart showing the so-called Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were not planet-wide phenomena)"
The graph shows a very obvious stretch of depressed temperatures from ca. 1430 to ca. 1900,
yet it labels the Little Ice Age as ending already at about 1830, probably incorrectly.
It's another example of Wikipedia not something to rely on uncritically.
It's also unclear what data is behind the graph. I suggest you look at the
graph at the bottom of the BBC article that was posted yesterday:
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65602293
It tells a very different story, one I described to Lawyer Daggett earlier today.
By the way, that caption is correct about what the graph shows about the Medieval Warm Period [MWP].
I was quite surprised that the somewhat elevated temperatures of MWP extend
backwards all the way to the beginning of CE [1]. It made me wonder whether
Greenland could have been settled way back then, and perhaps earlier.
But it could be that temperatures in the high latitudes were abnormally
high in the MWP compared to overall global temperatures.
[1] "the Common Era," they call it, even though Chinese, Muslims, Hindus
and Mayans have different numberings for their years.
> No one really measured.
We have various proxies for global temperature; that is what the
graphs show all the way back to half a gigayear ago or further.
At this point, I deleted some comments of yours about some interesting side issues
focused on charcoal and forests in Europe. Here in the USA the state of our forests
is very different from that in Europe. Are you aware of the main differences?

I didn't see any denial in that direction. You are adding details to
what JTEM wrote, but it looks consistent with what I've seen
him say about the priorities of academics.

It's unclear that he is denying anything that you are criticizing here.

Here's what I told him about his peculiar brand of denialism:
`The brand is very different from the usual. Unlike the usual, it does not deny that the temperature could eventually rise to the heights of the PETM.
It merely says "So what if it does? I don't care." You deny that the consequences are worth losing sleep over.
It reminds me of the king of France who cheerfully said, "Apres nous, le deluge." '

In his reply, he made no effort to deny this. He simply snipped it.

JTEM said nothing resembling this on this thread. Are you blindly following
something Lawyer Daggett wrote? He was blindly following
stereotypes about what most climate change denialists
are like, instead of noticing that JTEM's peculiar brand is completely different.

This question illustrates the pitfalls of the blind leading the blind.
