A new study published in the journal Nature recently, completely debunks all previous claims that temperatures in recent decades are in any way historic demonstrating instead that things were much hotter on this planet during Roman times:
This thoroughly debunks the claim that temperatures on the planet today are in any way historic or unprecedented. They simply are not.
For the first time, researchers have now been able to use the data derived from tree-rings to precisely calculate a much longer-term cooling trend that has been playing out over the past 2,000 years. Their findings demonstrate that this trend involves a cooling of -0.3°C per millennium due to gradual changes to the position of the sun and an increase in the distance between the Earth and the sun.
Our ancestors suffered through much hotter summers in times gone by, several of them within the last 2,000 years. A new study measuring temperatures over the past two millennia has concluded that in fact the temperatures seen in the last decade are far from being the hottest in history. This being the case, disprove the myth that carbon fuels have triggered a catastrophic rise in global temperatures, melting ice caps, killing polar bears, altering the climate and otherwise driving mankind into oblivion.
Here’s a graph of the data:
In the IPCC view, the planet was cooler during Roman times and the medieval warm spell. Overall the temperature is headed up - perhaps wildly up, according to the famous/infamous "hockey stick" graph. There is no hockey stick graph here!
The new study indicates that that's quite wrong, with the current warming less serious than the Romans and others since have seen - and the overall trend actually down by a noticeable 0.3°C per millennium, which the scientists believe is probably down to gradual long-term shifts in the position of the Sun and the Earth's path around it. Just as many climate realists have been saying for years.
Professor Dr. Jan Esper's group at the Institute of Geography at JGU used tree-ring density measurements from sub-fossil pine trees originating from Finnish Lapland to produce a reconstruction reaching back to 138 BC. In so doing, the researchers have been able for the first time to precisely demonstrate that the long-term trend over the past two millennia has been towards climatic cooling. "We found that previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the Middle Ages were too low," says Esper. "Such findings are also significant with regard to climate policy, as they will influence the way today's climate changes are seen.
It is becoming increasing clear that the global warming/climate change cartel have fabricated lie after lie in order to manipulate public policy and funnel billions of dollars of public money rushing to fix a problem that does not exist. How broad is their deceit? First we learn that the ice caps are not receding, then we learn that polar bears are not a declining population, then we discover the oceans are not rising. To no great surprise we learned that the temperature data has been manipulated, both in the method of obtaining it, and in actual exaggeration of the raw data. We should not be surprised this is not real science, it is manipulated data in pursuit of a political agenda, an end defined and framed by environmentalists who believe the religion of evil man destroying the earth, and environmentalists are the saviors coming to the rescue. But to obtain their goal, they must end man’s dependence on carbon fuels (the boogeyman here), and global warming, with some gross distortion and manipulation, is the perfect scare to garner political support and money to save the world.
In this bizarre world of make believe science, carbon, of all things, is declared a pollutant with environmentalists determined to rid the world of this awful curse. Ok, now we know they’ve lost their minds…and their credibility.
