Interesting essay. Thanks for sharing.

Change is the only global constant.

"Global Warming" is a hoax.

" "Actually global climate change are as old as this planet.

I'm sure some lefty enviro-wienie will argue the point before giving that statement some thought. :o)

Global warming: what it boils down to is world government.

So you noticed too that from 1345 AD to 1351 AD was the first WOT with the Muzzies.

[Mike Darancette]

After 1200 AD, and especially from 1300 AD to 1350 AD, things become wetter, and then colder.

During the Global Warming period of the 1200’s,

What???

Earth's climate changes are due largely to "Space Weather" and cyclical factors which are natural. The sun also emits geomagnetic storms which influence natural cycles of weather on our planet. To think that man has much of an impact of the weather is an example of human hubris raised to the level of absurdity.

It is not due to the automobile. There were not automobiles in the 12th and 13th Centuries. That is especially true for the Mongols of the Gobi.

Kinda silly. Reminds me of "Planet Earth explodes and disappears. Women and minorities hit hardest."

No one had automobiles then, no one was special regarding this lack.

One of my college professors wrote a book on the plague and his opinion was that if the Black Death hadn't come along to reduce the population of Europe, famine would have done it anyway because the climate shift made Europe unable to support the population it was carrying.

Global Warming and Global Cooling are as Old as the Black Plague

Actually it is much older than that. Has been going on since the beginning.

William the Conqueror's Global Warming
by Steven J. Milloy

Lloyd Keigwin, a researcher from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution... concluded that although sea surface temperature (SST) in the northern Saragasso Sea is now about 1 degree centigrade warmer than 400 years ago during the Little Ice Age, it is about 1 degree cooler than about 1,000 years ago during the Medieval Warm Period. Keigwin's conclusions are based on his study of sediment accumulation in the Saragasso Sea... Eleventh century society burned no gasoline. There were no electric power plants to burn coal. No chemical plants emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Airplanes, reputed to emit as much of the greenhouse gases as the eighth most polluting nation, were still 900 years away from being invented.

So, if carbon emissions really were to blame, it would be vastly better for the environment to burn hydrocarbon fuels than it was to burn wood.

The Tree Solution
by Jim Wilson

As Greenpeace expanded to become the world's largest international environmental organization, Moore's star steadily rose and he eventually became vice president of research. Then he did something even more unexpected than joining the organization in the first place. He packed up and quit... In the months before his departure, Moore had begun talking heresy. "The environmental movement had gone astray and lost its perspective on forests," Moore says. "Rather than cutting fewer trees and using less wood, we should be growing more trees and using more wood." Greenpeace branded him an eco-Judas. Now comes the biggest surprise of all. Recently published research suggests that Moore is right. Cutting down old trees could be the best way to thwart global warming.

Time to throw out 'myth' of recycling
by David Harrison
London Daily Telegraph
March 4, 2003

Throw away the green and blue bags and forget those trips to return bottles -- recycling household waste is a load of, well, rubbish, say leading environmentalists and waste campaigners. In a reversal of decades-old wisdom, they argue that burning cardboard, plastics and food leftovers is better for the environment and the economy than recycling. They dismiss household trash separation -- a practice encouraged by the green lobby -- as a waste of time and money... The Swedes' views are shared by many British local authorities, who have drawn up plans to build up to 50 incinerators in an attempt to tackle a growing waste mountain and cut the amount of garbage going to landfills... The use of incineration to burn household waste -- including packaging and food -- "is best for the environment, the economy and the management of natural resources," they wrote in an article for the newspaper Dagens Nyheter. Technological improvements have made incineration cleaner, the article said, and the process could be used to generate electricity, cutting dependency on oil... Recycled bottles cost glass companies twice as much as the raw materials, and recycling plastics was uneconomical, they said. "Plastics are made from oil and can quite simply be incinerated."
