Global warming analysis always has a ‘start point’ in the recent past, over the last 40 years or so.
Go back another half-blink of time, it all falls apart.

This planet was 3-5C WARMER during the Roman empire period, temps lasted about 1000 years, until about 450AD, according to things like tree rings, discovery of ‘warm weather’ plants in cold areas, and other hard and “un-fakeable” evidence. That’s triple the increase of temps the alarmists tell us will cause the planet to ‘die’. Then we had a Maunder min. period of low sun activity, dropping global temps to well below today’s averages by 1-2C.

But for the alarmists, planetary climate history starts 40 years ago, as it must for the minimal changes to show up and not be overcome by far larger swings over the last 5,000 years.

Those who presume to be our leaders have no use for facts. Quit rocking the boat.

Agreed. There's a reason the Roman Warm Period is often referred to as the "Roman Climate Optimum". Not only was it warmer than now, it was a good thing for it be warmer.

Instead of hating the Modern Warm Period we should be happy we're in it and hope it gets as high as the Roman Climate Optimum did (which I doubt it will).
