The Medieval Warm Period, by itself, contradicts the entire man-made global warming scenario

I wouldn't say so by itself. Cause A having effect C does not mean cause B can't also cause C under different circumstances. Further, it's not a stretch to suggest that a massive outpouring of greenhouse gases will affect the climate. We know this happens after large volcanic events, for example.

The argument is one of quantity, not quality.

Yeah, the denialist argument is dumb because it hinges on the idea that climate changes naturally.

Like, no shit it changes over time, but that’s not literally the only cause.

It also doesn’t help their case that the current warming is off-cycle.
