�The skeptics raised valid points and everybody should have been a skeptic two years ago,� Muller said in a telephone interview. �And now we have confidence that the temperature rise that had previously been reported had been done without bias.�

Muller said that he came into the study �with a proper skepticism,� something scientists �should always have. I was somewhat bothered by the fact that there was not enough skepticism� before.


The overall gist of the article seems to be that you should have been a skeptic prior to the release of his research, but now that he has spoken your skepticism can cease.

Those fluctuations throughout billions of years took place over a lot longer period than the last few decades we have seen recently.
