Odd....seems the East Anglica cluster fuck took most of the air out of
your sails.

Then it was Gorbal Warming..then after that bit was exposed as utter
bullshit..it became "climate change"
In the 1970s..it was claimed Global Cooling was going to have us
living in igloos by 2002
Your lot cant ever seem to get it right, can you?
The Midieval Warm and then the Little Ice Age were cased by armpit
spray, leaking air conditioners and jet air craft travel?
Im curious.... given this from the NOA website
n summary, it appears that the late 20th and early 21st centuries are
likely the warmest period the Earth has seen in at least 1200 years.
For a summary of the latest available research on the nature of
climate during the "Medieval Warm Period", please see Box 6.4 of the
IPCC 2007 Palaeoclimate chapter.
Warmest period in 1200 yrs. And before that? More pit spray and jet
aircraft exhaust?
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/medieval.html
You will notice that the Medieval Warm lasted for 400 yrs. And the
Little Ice Age lasted for over a century.
Then we have this.....
Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has
been no global warming since 1995

Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing
There has been no global warming since 1995
Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made
changes
Professor Phil Jones
Data: Professor Phil Jones admitted his record keeping is 'not as good
as it should be'
The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data
is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has
trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused
Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the
relevant papers.
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the
observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that
his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping
is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate
change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was
warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not
be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no
‘statistically significant’ warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that
there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change
and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely
man-made.
Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as
director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit
after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were
manipulating data.
The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the
world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster
efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT: The professor's amazing climate change
retreat
Following the leak of the emails, Professor Jones has been accused of
‘scientific fraud’ for allegedly deliberately suppressing information
and refusing to share vital data with critics.
Discussing the interview, the BBC’s environmental analyst Roger
Harrabin said he had spoken to colleagues of Professor Jones who had
told him that his strengths included integrity and doggedness but not
record-keeping and office tidying.
Mr Harrabin, who conducted the interview for the BBC’s website, said
the professor had been collating tens of thousands of pieces of data
from around the world to produce a coherent record of temperature
change.
That material has been used to produce the ‘hockey stick graph’ which
is relatively flat for centuries before rising steeply in recent
decades.
According to Mr Harrabin, colleagues of Professor Jones said ‘his
office is piled high with paper, fragments from over the years, tens
of thousands of pieces of paper, and they suspect what happened was he
took in the raw data to a central database and then let the pieces of
paper go because he never realised that 20 years later he would be
held to account over them’.
Asked by Mr Harrabin about these issues, Professor Jones admitted the
lack of organisation in the system had contributed to his reluctance
to share data with critics, which he regretted.

But he denied he had cheated over the data or unfairly influenced the
scientific process, and said he still believed recent temperature
rises were predominantly man-made.
Asked about whether he lost track of data, Professor Jones said:
‘There is some truth in that. We do have a trail of where the weather
stations have come from but it’s probably not as good as it should be.
‘There’s a continual updating of the dataset. Keeping track of
everything is difficult. Some countries will do lots of checking on
their data then issue improved data, so it can be very difficult. We
have improved but we have to improve more.’
He also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced
similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said
these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent
warming could not.
He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no
‘statistically significant’ warming, although he argued this was a
blip rather than the long-term trend.
And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been
even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is
evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from
settled.
Sceptics believe there is strong evidence that the world was warmer
between about 800 and 1300 AD than now because of evidence of high
temperatures in northern countries.
But climate change advocates have dismissed this as false or only
applying to the northern part of the world.
Professor Jones departed from this consensus when he said: ‘There is
much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent
or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America,
the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia.
‘For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly
in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere.
There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two
regions.
‘Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or
warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would
not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but
was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be
unprecedented.’
Sceptics said this was the first time a senior scientist working with
the IPCC had admitted to the possibility that the Medieval Warming
Period could have been global, and therefore the world could have been
hotter then than now.
Professor Jones criticised those who complained he had not shared his
data with them, saying they could always collate their own from
publicly available material in the US. And he said the climate had not
cooled ‘until recently – and then barely at all. The trend is a
warming trend’.
Mr Harrabin told Radio 4’s Today programme that, despite the
controversies, there still appeared to be no fundamental flaws in the
majority scientific view that climate change was largely man-made.
But Dr Benny Pieser, director of the sceptical Global Warming Policy
Foundation, said Professor Jones’s ‘excuses’ for his failure to share
data were hollow as he had shared it with colleagues and ‘mates’.
He said that until all the data was released, sceptics could not test
it to see if it supported the conclusions claimed by climate change
advocates.
He added that the professor’s concessions over medieval warming were
‘significant’ because they were his first public admission that the
science was not settled.

"evidence suggests that the Medieval Warm Period was in fact warmer
than today in many parts of the globe such as in the North Atlantic.
This warming thereby allowed Vikings to travel further north than had
been previously possible because of reductions in sea ice and land ice
in the Arctic. "..
Thats odd...so the artic ice thawed out and Vikings could settle on
Greenland and raise grapes there.
Odd indeed. Yet the crapheads are claiming that it could only have
been done by CFCs and armpit spray and jet exhausts.
Funny that eh wot?
