So can we call all those trees an “inconvenient growth”?

Youve heard of their bread-and-circuses? This was a tree-ring circus.

In general the scientists found a slow cooling of 0.6C over 2,000 years, which they attributed to changes in the Earth’s orbit which took it further away from the Sun.

Is this creep of earth's orbit away from the sun still going on now?

German researchers used data from tree rings – a key indicator of past climate


Live by the tree ring, die by the tree ring. Have you ever seen a more self confident idiot? Not to mention the millions of tax dollars Michael Mann has scammed for his manipulated research. German scientists are smarter than this smug little turd

AngloSphere scientists are behind 90% of global warming "research" and agit-prop.

The really sad thing about everything related to AGW, is that most of this was known decades ago.

Written records alone bear witness to the climate at those times.

All of this money wasted on reestablishing what is already known.

I can't tell you the temperature accurately without looking at a thermometer, so how do they determine the temperature of the earth, when the thermometer had not even been invented yet?

Milankovitch Cycles.

I discovered ‘em independently. (Seriously, figured it all out meeself.) Brought my idea to the attention of one of my college professors, and he dismissed it.

I didn’t have the math to prove it, but it’s not hard to envision it.

Then, two years later...I found out a Russian Mathematician had conceived of it and proved it a century before. :)

Our sun has cycles. The hydrologic cycle cools/warms Earth. Water is a miracle element: it retains heat hundreds of times better than CO2. Yet...CO2 gets blamed. Water vapor is a miracle of water, and changes our albedo when the Earth has “too much” of it, and that allows the cloud to cool and DUMP the water, clearing the sky, allowing the sun to heat the ocean surface, causing evaporation, and the cycle begins anew as the mists rise to form clouds.

God designed it that way. And it’s working perfectly.

Michael Crichton (the noted author) commented on the global warming hysteria. He didn’t buy any of it. Said that man isn’t powerful/important enough to cause AGW (anthropogenic global warming).

Of course it was warmer in Roman times.

The Romans were well known to be polluters of the environment.

They used wood to heat their homes and cook their food.

A huge carbon footprint.

That's always an inconvenient little fact that nobody like to mention.

I challenge anyone to go back to the date and place of any key event in the first third of our nation's history (July 4, 1776; the Battle of Yorktown, the start of the Lewis & Clark expedition, the Battle of Gettysburg, etc.) and tell me what the ambient air temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity was at that time and place.

Good luck with that.

That's a mighty singular tree ring in the photo. It's hardly aged over the past millennium.

Yeah but there’s no money of power to be had in pointing this out.

"...the start of the Lewis & Clark expedition..."

Sorry...I just couldn't afford to purchase a temp measuring device before we left...
