The UN has de-emphasized the Warm Period and the Little Ice age (and the Maunder Solar Minimum).

Christopher Monckton discusses it here:

Look at his backup files. The UN removed these blips in our recent climate history.

Otherwise, fourth graders may ask, what happened to the polar bears in the Medieval Warm Period? And the UN and Algor must remain silent.

"The UN has de-emphasized the Warm Period and the Little Ice age (and the Maunder Solar Minimum)."

Yes, I know.

That's why I referred to it as pre-PC history. :-)

Nice article and good to see just how much 'science' changes the facts to fit the politics.

Thanks.
