The article argues that over the last 2,000 years ("the pre-industrial common era") instances of warming or cooling have been regional; the last two centuries differ in that they show a consistent temperature rise across the globe, in all regions--i.e., the warming has been "globally coherent," occurring everywhere. People arguing that "there has been warming/cooling in the recent past" (e.g., the "little Ice Age") generally do not take this coherence into account. That's the argument in a nutshell. The source notes also give a sense how the argument of these 5 scientists has developed within and rests upon accumulated research on "global coherence."
I have forwarded your post to the residents of Shishmaref, Alaska, who will take comfort in the knowledge that there is no proof that less ice formation has "adverse effects". If only they'd known this before they had to move their entire village.
I found the article after some searching. My original point stands - what does that article have to do with anything I posted? It's a strawman rebuttal.
