Your constant attempts to plug one as a direct result of the other are why so many people ignore any "science", you do the cause no favours.
Stick to things you can prove, not wild guesswork and rash unsupportable statements.

It's the speed at which it's going up and whilst one heatwave doesn't prove anything the frequency of them does. You mentioned the middle evil warming period but that took place over 200 years and the temperature didn't increase as much as it's done in the last 50 years:

The yearly average temperature is increasingly rapidly. It's happening within a single human's lifetime as opposed to centuries.
The speed at which it's happening is the main difference between now and other periods in the history of the earth. People like discount how much it increased 1000s of years ago, in prehistoric times, but that took
geological ages. Not 100 years.
And as for human involvement what do we think about that sudden spike in the 1800s was caused by? Just happens to be around the time of the industrial revolution....
