Like CBS, they liked the answer, so they didn't question the results. That is of course putting the best possible spin on it. The worst it that they did it more or less deliberately to fulfill their agenda.

Seriously, I always thought the GW theory was bunk because even what I read about early medieval history and the late Roman Empire in archeological journals in the 1970's discussed the evidence for the Roman Warm Period and Medieval Warm Period and the intervening cold periods. Th evidence for large climatic swings was already seen at that time in the pollen, foodstuffs and written reports (e.g. the Franks crossing the frozen Rhine in the 5th century).
