Interesting that they mentioned the position of the earth to the sun. If we are moving away from the sun, how much more worried should we be that we have had the warmest spring in recorded history? Just a thought.
Recorded history of climatic temperature is only slightly longer than 200 years. This time period is almost statistically insignificant in view of the age of the earth, or even the time periods involved in this tree ring study. We really have too little data to have any idea what is going on with climatic cycles.

A far more coherent and complete analysis than I could hope to complete. But excellent none the less.
