western civilization was using wood, steam engines and water power until mid 1800's, with oil driving the second industrial revolution starting in 1870. But western civilization moved the dial in less than 40 years? Not buying it.

It just shows that SUVs are much older than we thought.

the early warming suggests there might be a flaw in the models scientists use to predict how the climate will change...

Well, given the models complete failure to account for the lack of warming between 1998 and 2015 despite large increases in CO2 and other factors, that became calculably clear.

There goes the air out of AGW (did you hear it? lol).

That only means one thing:

This study must either disappear or be discredited.

Wait for it...

The researchers used marine sediments in the Fram Straight, where the Atlantic meets the Arctic east of Greenland, to reconstruct 800 years of data that paint a longer historical picture of how Atlantic water has flowed into the Arctic.

.... "The reconstructions suggest a substantial increase in the Atlantic Ocean heat and salt transport into the Nordic Sea at the beginning of the 20th century, which is not well simulated by (climate models)," Rong Zhang, a senior scientist at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, who was not involved with the study, told CNN."

800 years makes a geological record?
