“As Alston Chase put it, ‘when the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power.’” The late Dr. Michael Chricton
The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years. And this is not just for Europe, Greenland and North America, yet another red herring that has recently been thrown out by the desperate global warmers. The universality of the Viking and Mediaeval climatic optimums is written about by Kegwin, who wrote in Science, 1996:274:1504-1508, the mean surface temp of the Sargasso Sea (which lies roughly between the West Indies and the Azores), which was obtained by readings of isotope ratios in marine organism remains in sediment, shows we are, today, below the three thousand year average, and far below the Medieval Climatic Optimum, albeit far above the LIA. Civil Defense Perspectives, Mar. 2007, Vol. 23, #3, p. 1, notes that evidence for this climatic optimum has been found in all but 2 out of 103 locations where it was examined for, including Asia, Africa, South America and the western U.S. (see Dr. Willie Soon, et al, Energy Environ 2003; 14(2,3):233-296). The following graph of temperature in the Sargasso Sea tells you all you need to know (note: that big horizontal line running across the page is the 3,000 year average!), Interestingly, the warmer times coincided not only with the best harvests, but also the least amount of major storm activity.
Or let’s put it another way, from the Dansgaard & Johnson study, as here on ResearchGate:
Jørgen Peder Steffensen, of the Niels Bohr Inst., Dept. of Geophysics, says at that during the MWP, the temperatures “were about 1.5 degrees warmer, on average” than today. This per ice cores drilled in Greenland, down 3 km, which go back over 120,000 years. And the sensitivity of their instrumentation is down to the thousandths of a degree, which allows them to re-construct the temperatures. From his presentation, below, -4 is 4,000 years previous today. Notice that it was 2.5 degrees warmer than today; - 2 would be the Roman age; in the 1800s, specifically, around 1875, it was the lowest temperatures Earth has had in the past 8,000 to 10,000 years. It was also around this time that man started consistent meteorological observations. I.e., we started measuring at the coldest it had been in 8 to 10 thousand years.
Carbon 14 dating from peat bogs and tree rings confirms the data above, as does data from stalactite caves in China and data from Africa.
Want to go further back? (Note: “BP” means before present day in 2022). In sum, the last time carbon dioxide levels were this low the earth experienced its Permian die-off where 95% of all species disappeared; global temperatures are in reality equal to two earlier historic low points in from the Ordovician and the Carboniferous / Permian transition; and water vapor is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, with the greatest driver behind earth’s global warming is – the Sun.
Or as cited from IceAgeNow.info:
In case you would like corroboration of Kegwin’s study, Dr. Roy Spencer has a similar chart found at www.drroyspencer.com – see below - charting temperatures for the past two thousand years. Further, in a 2010 Russian study by Dergachev and Raspopov, they clearly found that not only are tree ring studies not very conclusive when compared to ice core data, but that solar cycles are telling, with the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change summarizing the work by stating “a detailed 750-year temperature reconstruction from an ice core in Siberia agrees well with measures of solar modulation based on sunspot number and carbon-14 and Be-10 estimates, and that the agreement is remarkable at multi-decadal time scales, ” and concluding that “Dergachev and Raspopov compare the solar indices of the past millennium with the borehole temperature reconstructions, demonstrating that the borehole data and solar indices agree on the long-term temperature pattern of the past thousand years. That is to say, the two parameters imply the existence of a solar-induced Medieval Warm Period (MWP) around AD 1000 to 1300 and a Little Ice Age (LIA) in the 1600s to 1700s. Thus, their study pretty much proves the existence of a global MWP, while demonstrating the link between the MWP-LIA oscillation and solar activity (see also http://tinyurl.com/227zg4 ) And it indicates that the MWP was roughly as warm as -- or possibly even warmer than -- it has been to date during the Current Warm Period.”
More evidence of the MWP was published in 2010, including a study by Billeaud, Tessier, and Lesueur in 2009 of the area around Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, France, showing that the Holocene has been regularly punctuated by warming periods, occurring every 1500 years, +/- 500 years. The MWP also, apparently, existed in Central Asia, also as summarized by the NIPCC here, in an article by Chen, et al, 2010. Moisture changes over the last millennium in arid central Asia: A review, synthesis and comparison with monsoon region. Quaternary Science Reviews 29: 1055-1068. Even the Chinese are in on the act: CM Ma, et al, analyzed multi-proxy data, including grain size, microfossil, plant seeds, and geochemical elements -- which they obtained from sediment retrieved from excavations made in the dry lake bed of Lop Nur China's West Lake (40°27'129" N, 90°20'083" E) -- in order "to amply discuss," as they describe it, "the climate and environment changes during the MWP," or Medieval Warm Period, which they identified as occurring between AD 900 and 1300. So what did they find?... Ma et al. conclude that '“the environment was the best,” stating that "temperature was almost the same [as] or a little higher than [bolding added] nowadays."
Once again, one can see that Mssrs. Gore, Schwab, Gates, Harari, et al have confused the emergence from the mini ice age with anthropogenic global warming.
But… just like their Covid shots, there IS big, big money in it for them. Not that money serves much use where they are going, if reports from Dives and Lazarus are correct…
In other words, Climate Change is one big circle jerk.
Superior summary of profound foundational evidence. But where are the high profile well informed voices hammering the army of evil that is pumping fear and launching crushing directives of government control? How can this be stopped?
