Is there 'compelling evidence' for this being 'the warmest period in the past 1000 years', the warmest its been for 5000 years with the highest rate of 'warming' for the past 10000 years with all this related to 'greenhouse concepts'?

No not really, let us all think, ICE AGE, and consider when and why the ice retreated.

Are we at or near a peak in the NATURAL climate oscillation? If you look AT the numerous temperature plots about, you might note the 'symmetry' of the 'wobble' exhibited.

The commonly quoted 'average temperature increase' is also of the planetary surface, and this represents ONLY that kinetic energy NOT as yet conducted to the atmosphere to then produce the effects of Turbulence, including Convection, which is displayed also in the motions of Oceanic currents.

To save time retyping, please look at
http://www.climateimc.org/?q=node/312
where you will see that it is infact the alterations to the planetary surface that are inducing alterations to the induction rate of, and to the redistribution of kinetic energy induction, and so is leading weather patterning away from what some would call the 'normal'.

Climate is presenting 'persistence' and NEVER permanence.

It should be realised that the climate is progressing out of a glaciation. In the glacial period, there was permanent snow, with dependant fauna (and I assume flora) somewhere just north of today's Texas, as example, at around 15,000 years ago. 'Texas' itself would have been grassed heavily with ample water from melt as the glaciation reverted to the present warming period.

Now, we have much marginal terrain (desert like) within the planetary 'equatorial region'. The 'temperate region' is heavily covered in photosynthetic mass (if you imagine the forests removed by Humanity to be present, for illustrative purpose). The 'Polar Regions' are now just warming.

This indicates to the MAJORITY (many of the other ~500 Million tertiary educated members of the public, and also those interested in looking at what is taught pre-tertiary level) in regard to natural climate alterations, that what we are seeing as effect is primarily the NATURAL progressions of the primary CLIMATE oscillation; again see http://www.climateimc.org/?q=node/312 for more detail.

It is infact that the climate is coming away from an glaciation, and so the Polar regions are infact the LAST place to react, it is just NOW that they are reacting and winters will be in general more mild for a period of time, with increases in turbulence seeing large precipitations as 'events'.
