The Thames was a lot wider and slower flowing before embankment, it was
also a lot cleaner. So not necessarily evidence of warming.

Cleaner? Thought it was once just an open sewer. ;-)

The building of the embankment and the building of Bazalgette's sewer to
clean the Thames happened at the same time (the embankment was built to
take the sewer).

It is not established that sewage freezes above freezing point any more
than ordinary river water does.

AS we see a complete straw man raised to obfuscate and divert attention
away from the salient fact. It was a lot colder 300 years ago than it is
now, or was 600 years ago.
