Share this… Facebook TwitterA series of paleoclimate lake reconstructions across China in recent years have failed to support the global-scale warming narrative. Per a new lake temperature reconstruction (Li et al., 2023) from Central China, there were distinct “warm intervals during the RWP [Roman Warm Period] (403–413 CE), with a temperature 2.89°C higher than that […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterClaims the Swedish Scandes are unprecedentedly warm and tree-covered today “appear as large and unfounded exaggerations,” as the “climate and arboreal responses” of the last few decades “are still inside the frames of natural historical variation.” – Kullman, 2022 and Kullman, 2022a Extensive birch forest fossils can be dated to the early- […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterDue to a “relatively stable warm climate” the Medieval Warm Period (800 to 1300 CE) was a period of expanding Scandinavian population, increasing trade, food and goods production. There has been a ~500 zettajoule (ZJ) increase in global ocean heat energy since 1750. The Medieval Warm Period global ocean had 1000 ZJ […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThese much warmer Greenland temperatures imply that the elevation of the ice sheet was 400 meters lower than it is today from about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists (Westhoff et al., 2022) report that the two largest Greenland melt events in the last few hundred years occurred in 2012 and in […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterDuring the Medieval Warm Period surface temperatures were 1-1.3°C warmer and sea levels 1 meter higher in the southern Far East Russia study region. Another new study (Lyashchevskaya et al., 2022) casts doubt on the claims of an unprecedentedly warm modern climate. Even though the atmospheric CO2 levels were a “safe” 265 […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterSwiss Alps glacier extents were smaller than 2000 C.E. during the warmer-than-today Roman and Medieval Warm Periods and throughout 75% of the Holocene, or when temperatures were 1-3°C warmer. Schimmelpfennig et al., 2022 “…the glacier was smaller than its 2000 CE extent for a total of ∼7.4 kyr during the Holocene.” Image Source: Schimmelpfennig et […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterCorals thrive in multiple-degrees-warmer-than-today waters and their growth is stunted in cooler environments. The warnings peddled by climate alarmists often characterize Earth’s 500 billion corals as critically endangered by modern global warming. But the science itself says corals have been and continue thriving in the Current Warm Period – just as they […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new analysis has Poland’s July temperatures hitting 20.6°C in Medieval times, whereas they’re only 17.4°C today. The temperature record for this region also shows today’s temperatures are not much different than they were during the Little Ice Age. Another chart contained in the study (Pleskot et al., 2022) shows North America’s […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterIn 2021, several hundred more scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources. These scientific papers […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterSince 2019,there have been over 350 peer-reviewed scientific papers published showing no warming in the modern era and/or much warmer temperatures than today when CO2 levels ranged from 180 to 280 ppm (Holocene, Pleistocene). Below is the link to the updated (now including 2021) database of non-hockey temperature records from locations across […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterHumans have been recording flowering/bloom dates in China for over 1,000 years. These records affirm modern warmth in China is neither unprecedented nor unusual. Per temperature reconstructions gleaned from phenological records in poems, Central China had multiple 1-2°C warmer decades than 1961-1990 during the 1st millennium (Liu et al., 2021).

The Eastern Russia region was 1.5°C warmer than now during the Medieval Warm Period. The modern warm-up began centuries ago and temperatures have declined in the last few centuries. Relative sea […]
