Very interesting article. Some solid research. I’ll look deeper into what you found in Briffa’s data.
One thing I note in the “Terrum” map is the apparently huge extent of Antarctica. Allowing for inaccuracies of these times etc it does still seem to have an extent almost twice of what it is currently.
The fact that the two polar regions tend to behave in opposing trends may support the idea of a much larger ice coverage in Antarctica and less in the North as is suggest by this article.
That would have been smack dab in the middle of the Little Ice Age - why would arctic sea ice be less of a problem during that period?
Once in High School they wanted us to do a book report on any book from the list they submitted.
I waited too long and finally went to the library at school, all the good books were out, so I took out the book, Northwest Passage. Prob was it was Friday, the report was due Monday and the book was like 700 pages long.
Got up to about 300 or so, sick to death of reading and reading and did the report saying ‘and they finally found the Northwest Passage’....
My first lesson on procrastination.
