Blasphemy! The earth’s temperature was perfectly constant until man-made global warming.
An inconvenient history?
That line is always used on the young. It makes what they do seem mandatory.
I agree that we are in a climate change period. Each day when the sun comes yesterday’s climate is history and today’ climate willbe different! Clouds, percepitation, wind and all the other STUFF changes and there ain’t nothing we can do about it!
BFO - Blinding Flash of the Obvious. Of course there is no discipline, there is too much money being thrown around. If you are practicing disciplined, reasonable, responsible science you will not get your share. For all of the those poor, impoverished astro-physicists out there who are completely clueless about climate science, the temptation is too much to bear. Their financial situtations have improved markedly since they became AGW cultists.
GGG?

Great post. Never heard about the weather in Constantinople, I am curious about that...gonna track it down. Have read about the deforestation of the Greek isles. Anyone who has ever travelled through there would be suprised that these barren islands were once completely forrested. Likewise, at the time of Alexander the Great, there were still lions in Macedonia. The wild boar in Europe is well known and written about.
Gee, well, dah, this is amazing. The earth was actually warmer sometimes and cooler/colder other times. Wow, wonder if the sun had anything to do with it? /sarc
Interesting. I hadn’t seen the cycles carried this far back in time before.
I bet each time the climate started to change strange religions popped up with priests promising to “stop” the changes “if only” the people would turn over all their possessions, lives, and efforts to the “temple” as a sign of faith and submission to the will of the god(s).
Geez, sounds familiar...

He believes in global warming, and is worried about climate change today. When asked at a meeting what people should plan to do in the future when things got hotter, he sardonically said "move to Canada", because he figures no matter what we do the climate will change. My problem is that the problem is pollution, but the same ones who oppose global warming also oppose chemicals and GM crops.
China has a huge pollution problem, but what if the alternative is the massive famines in the past? Yet you might read how China "lowered their carbon output"...the naive think this was from lowering smoke from factories, but it wasn't: it was from changing how they grow rice.
So one quarter or so of China's carbon output is from decaying weeds producing methane in rice paddies. They lowered their carbon output by using "dry" preparation of rice fields. You use herbicides, only one irrigation to get rid of weeds and then use hybrid or GM rice that grows with less water. Voila, less rotting weeds, less carbon, and more rice.

Fantastic.... I always like to take history in very long perspective. By referencing the change noted by the Greeks the current Chicken Little scare is viewed in a better context
Algore is not Chicken Little but rather Quacky Lacky
