Well well well.

They say science is self-correcting, and so it is. Let's see if the lib politicians can catch up.

[Dilbert San Diego]

The scientists seem to downplay or ignore the Medieval Warm Period.

I’m no scientist, but I have a feeling that there are elements to climate cycles which we just don’t understand.

Heck, we have had numerous ice ages in earth’s history.

Probably there have been periods of warming too.

During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice.

Researchers in Antarctica have found coal. Coal is formed from deposits of organic matter, such as vegetation. At one time Antarctica cleary was not a frozen wasteland.

So, perhaps these guys don’t truly understand all of this, but they have a desire to put society into a straight jacket in various policies, so we can “fight global warming”, and make liberals happy.

The global reach of the medieval warming period is well documented. This is but one more nail in a very well-sealed coffin.

The fact is though that it will make little difference to the totalitarian thugs using 'AGW' as a club to batter western civilization.

well-documented warm period

Horse flatulence?

[kitkat]

The article proves IT’S CYCLICAL!

[Truth29]

The science is irrelevant; worse, it is counterproductive. This is about power and control. The science is what the leftist Marxists say it is to a deliberately uneducated mass of intended serfs.

[GreyFriar]

Read the full article. History over rides “consensus”

[C210N]

Of course the medieval period had AGW-type warming. Wherever and whenever man exists, his transportation will undoubtedly warm the earth.

Never heard of this mineral before....but there is a Wikipedia entry:

Ikaite

*******************************************

Identification Color White when pure

Description

Calcite after Ikaite var. Glendonite concretion.The rock was found at Kola Peninsula, Russia. Ikaite is a rare mineral that occurs in nature at temperatures up to 7°C in alkaline, phosphate-rich marine and continental waters. Although ikaite has generally been replaced by calcite (this replacement is called glendonite), it has preserved its original crystal shape. Because of the rather restricted conditions under which ikaite/glendonite forms, it serves as a marker for near-freezing water temperatures. Hydrohalite, a form of salt, precipitates at low temperatures from highly saturated brines. It is not well-preserved in sediments because of its high solubility, but its former existence can be inferred from the presence of halite or other minerals that preserve the shape of the original crystals. Minerals are just one of many proxies used by geologists to reconstruct past climates. Some minerals like ikaite define a very narrow set of conditions, while others, like the clays, appear in a number of geologic and climatic settings. Minerals along with other indicators — fossils, tree rings, pollen, ice cores, geochemistry or isotopes — provide tantalizing clues to ancient climates.

“Scientists” are only speculating on things that have been going on for eons, because for the first time, they are witness to it. *sheesh*

So the question of how King Arthur's men acquired coconuts in England has finally been solved. No swallows necessary.

The libs don’t catch up. They make more noise and get more laws passed and more court orders.
