Era of the Pharaohs: Climate was HOTTER THAN NOW, without CO2

That's just crazy talk! They might not be able to tell us if it'll rain on Saturday, but they KNOW we'll all die from GW down the road.

I've noticed the anger in the faces and voices of those who worship climate change growing
to an unhealthy level. They must know their cult is failing and the desperation is becoming hysterical.
No facts will sway their belief of the false inevitable doom that America is causing.
Sad sad people.

Email soon to be leaked from East Anglia: “We have to make the Alexandrian warm period disappear.”
Follow up from the state-run media: “Email taken out of context.”

[Uncle Miltie]

Totally explicable:

The big surprise here is that the National Science Foundation actually funded honest research. I'd like to know how BO's hiring screen let these researchers get through.

It is no secret that Hannibal (218 BC) got his elephants locally from Northern Africa and not Central Africa, the nearest source of the giant beasts today. It is also no secret that productive lands extended into the northernmost regions of where the Sahara Desert is today even with the earth being warmer at that period than it is today.

All things considered, global warming is actually a good thing because it brings about a net increase in agricultural production worldwide, thereby making more of the globe inhabitable.

Only from a libtard point of view is this a bad thing because it means the globe can support more than the half-billion or so human beings which it traditionally has for most of human history and which libtards believe is natural or sustainable.

In all fairness, some libtards now admit that that number may be as high as four billion with technological advances. Doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy that some of them think our global population only needs to be reduced by 50% or so, rather than the 94% or so formerly believed?

Wait, what? You mean the bulldozers and cranes they used to build the pyramids were solar powered? Just another middle eastern contribution to mankind. Kind of like their space program.

[[They must know their cult is failing and the desperation is becoming hysterical]]

It’s not failing- not by a long shot- they are poised to begin teaching/propogandizing school kids all across america- our ‘dear leader’ is set to pass more andm ore climate control measures, carbon taxes, fines for violators etc- and he’s already foisted many restrictive and unbearable measures on businesses in the name of climate change-

We are the ones losing- not them- We’re just not hearign so much these days how badly we’re losing hte battle- they on the left just figured otu that goign public meant opposition- so now they do everythign behind hte scenes and have practically ordered the main stream media NOT to report the issues so much any more in order to keep the public unaware of what’s happening

[Foolsgold]

WOW no co2 didn’t anybody breath? I guess no plants to feed (with CO2) either.

This may also explain why Egypt, in the time of the Pharoahs, about a 3100+ year period, may not just have been hotter, but wetter as well as far more agriculturally productive.

To explain, Egypt is very unusual because it typically has only one farm season, that begins with the flooding of the Nile River. Importantly, global cooling or global warming, the Nile is pretty constant in its water level through history.

However, if it was much hotter, it could have also brought more rain, enough for a smaller second farming season. And thus, more abundance.

If they didn't have carbon dioxide in the time of the Pharaohs, when was it invented, and by whom?

No doubt it will turn out that an ancestor of George W. Bush was to blame.

It has been the contention of the warmists that any rise in temps will mean complete disaster. But it has been proven that there were many instances in the history of the world with temps appreciably warmer than today. For instance, the warming that allowed the Vikings to settle Greenland for 400 years. So if warmer temps means complete disaster, and we know there were many cases of warmer temps in the past, why are we and other life forms still around? It’s a question the warmists wish to squelch.

I am confused....I think this is the same paper discussed at WUWT....and the NY Times is reporting something verydifferent:

“Global Temperatures Highest in 4,000 Years,”

Thread I just posted :

Validity of “A Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years”

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well the commies have a record of reducing the population alright.

RE: "I am confused....I think this is the same paper discussed at WUWT....and the NY Times is reporting something very different:"

Well someone has to keep the masses ignorant.

See #10!

And the link at #15.

I don't think using Mann's hockey stick calculation method was a mistake.

I do know that the 7 lean years were caused by Burning Bush.

[SaraJohnson]

It was hell on earth back then?

Liberals are trying to catch up. They pronounce themselves gods, enslave humanity and eat our hearts and souls.
