Satellite image of Pevensey Castle today...

Pevensey Bay Today

Go to the link and zoom out a little bit....you can clearly see where the castle is relative to the current waterline. If the old map is correct, then it is true that the sea level was higher then, proving that the MWP was NOT a "localized weather phenomena", but in fact a global one.

I would post the satellite image and put it right next to the map for comparison, but I don’t know how to do that...

A little help anyone?

Maybe they can recover that mural showing William The Conqueror and his men riding their Seahorses into battle./

Climate experts say that that there was no Medieval Warm Period, because they are paid to lie for White House political purposes.

An example of isostatic rebound. Land areas that were covered by continental ice sheets during the most recent ice age were depressed by the weight of the ice. They have been rebounding very slowly since the ice disappeared. The same effect can be seen in the Great Lakes. This rebound continues to this day.

As a side note to this thread, I understand that England’s Glastonbury was possibly an island in medieval times. If such was the case, then that would somewhat complement the info presented in this thread about Pevensey Bay.

BTW, have the Dutch built their dikes taller to accomodate the rising seas as a consequence of PC global warming?

Of course the seas were higher during the Medieval times.
It was gloBull warming from all of that industrial pollution during the dark ages. Jus axe Al Gore.
Sheesh.

One of the great seafaring cities of Medieval Europe was Pisa.

NOTE: Pisa is no longer on the coast. It's 6 miles inland today.

If you travel west out of Honolulu, far west, you reach the Farrington Highway. It ultimately travels north, and doesn't quite meet the North end of Oahu. So, you can't quite drive all the way around the perimeter of the island. It's a spectacular road. It follows cliffs and sea coasts, and if you walk at the end, you can see a scary view of ocean waves blowing up through the volcanic fissures in the rocks, and a washed out path that I was afraid of following.

There is also a cave along the inland side of the highway. It's far above the ocean, dozens of feet. It contains a plaque describing it's formation. It formed when the ocean waves eroded a hole in the volcanic rock. That's right. The ocean level was a hundred feet, or so, HIGHER than it is now. This was during the LAST warm period. There weren't any SUVs then.

...900 years ago...and then about 600 years ago we slid into the Little Ice Age, from which we're only now recovering....

Facts don’t matter to the “climate-change” alarmists.
