Cambridge, MA - A review of more than 200 climate studies led by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the century with the most extreme weather of the past 1000 years. The review also confirmed that the Medieval Warm Period of 800 to 1300 A.D. and the Little Ice Age of 1300 to 1900 A.D. were worldwide phenomena not limited to the European and North American continents. While 20th century temperatures are much higher than in the Little Ice Age period, many parts of the world show the medieval warmth to be greater than that of the 20th century.

Smithsonian astronomers Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas, with co-authors Craig Idso and Sherwood Idso (Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change) and David Legates (Center for Climatic Research, University of Delaware), compiled and examined results from more than 240 research papers published by thousands of researchers over the past four decades. Their report, covering a multitude of geophysical and biological climate indicators, provides a detailed look at climate changes that occurred in different regions around the world over the last 1000 years.

...Soon says,"...In fact, clear patterns did emerge showing that regions worldwide experienced the highs of the Medieval Warm Period and lows of the Little Ice Age, and that 20th century temperatures are generally cooler than during the medieval warmth."

Ok, I think everyone has seen it.

Clearly, these guys have not gotten the memo. Look for a retraction, soon.

"Ok, I think everyone has seen it."

True, but not often enough.

These folks are already in the target sights of the CAGW cabal. "Deniers", "fraudulent science", "crap science", etc.

This paper was released in 2003.

Since 2003.

I haven't read the entire article, but several questions come to mind:

How did they manage to get published? The fraudsters made sure no such studies were peer-reviewed or published.

Where did the 200 "studies" come from? Those were presumably buried and "insignificant."
And most importantly, where did they get untainted data?
I undestood the the Climate RICO boys controlled it all?

First time for me. Very funny!

This is why the Warmists are desparately trying to change the name of the 'crisis' to Climate Change from 'Global Warming'. Do not help them along. Whenever possible, use Global Warming, with an emphasis on the word, warming. Under no circumstances use 'climate change'.

Although, to anyone with half a brain, this phrase is just as silly, since the only thing constant about this planet's climate IS change.

[SuperLuminal]

Just so!
