Medieval Warming Period – Infinite Unknown

Reader squodgy commented here:

– NOAA weather satellite mysteriously destroyed after agency’s climate data manipulation exposed

“I am a member of a local Wildlife Trust, and upon receiving the latest newsletter, read its introduction by the ‘Director’ praising the IPCC ‘Climate Conference’ and plugging the needs for everybody to get on board.

Naturally I responded expressing my disappointment, including self explanatory links, and personal experiences, all of which, in my humble opinion, more than justified doubt in the official line.
Even a child can see how chemtrails mess up a clear sky.
His response was so disappointing, I never bothered to reply….

Many thanks for your e-mail about climate change.

I’m afraid, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this. I have taken a deep interest in the science of climate change for decades building on from my PhD that looked at natural climate change over the last 5000 years by looking at the record in peat bogs. Of course, in science, there are many different theories, opinions, facts, data and evidence and sifting through the many different bits is a difficult task especially for a subject as broad and well studied as climate change. This is why the International Panel on Climate Change is so important as they have sought to construct a consensus view from the science. The consensus is over-whelming that anthropogenic air pollution by greenhouse gases (mostly CO2) is causing climate change.

For wildlife across the world, the consequences are dire which is why I think YWT needs to help to address this issue through our work, on, for example, peatlands and marine.

I hope my reply does not disappoint you too much as I’m sure we agree on a lot more and can I sincerely thank you for your support.”

Maybe you want to send him this …

Looks like CO2 has very little to do with the Greenhouse Effect …

… and just look at how little humans are affecting CO2.

Maybe you want to control the water vapor’s contribution to the Greenhouse Effect.

Good luck with that!

And look at those “skyrocketing” CO2 levels …

… that have risen to “unprecedented” levels. <sarc>

Couldn’t possibly be the sun, that is the cause of global warming and global cooling …

its-the-sun-stupid-the-maunder-minimum

Oh, so maybe it is the sun that is responsible for global warming and global cooling after all.

Ask every child whose presence is warming the earth and whose absence is cooling the earth.

But maybe that is too bloody obvious (for computer model hockey stick scientists).

But wait, there is more …

Surely humans were the ones responsible for “anthropogenic air pollution by greenhouse gases (mostly CO2)” during the the Medieval Warm Period, or what else could have possibly caused the Medieval Warm Period?

“We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.”

Dominance of the graph by the MWP was the challenge. As IPCC participant Jay Overpeck said in his email to Professor Deming, “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.”

Can’t sell this as anthropogenic air pollution by greenhouse gases, or can they?

But maybe they can, because the sheeple seem to believe bloody everything these days, just like him.

And NO, we are not disappointed that he just wants to keep her job and therefor has to support the non-existent consensus “that anthropogenic air pollution by greenhouse gases (mostly CO2) is causing climate change”.

– What happened to global warming? The warmest year recorded globally was 1998 (BBC News, Oct.9, 2009):

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

(And these are just a few links. Maybe he should try and use the bloody internet and do some research.)

Remember how one of the great ambitions of the Climategate “scientists” was to “contain” the “putative” Medieval Warming Period? Well – guess what – they’re STILL at it.

Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Jonathan Overpeck, Eugene Wahl, Malcolm Hughes – just about anyone who’s anyone from the Climategate emails, in fact – have all been on a clandestine boondoggle to sunny Portugal, there to conspire how best to obliterate that embarrassing and inconvenient period of bounteous warmth between around 900 AD and 1280 AD known as the MWP.

Anthony Watts has the full story. The bit that interests me most is the size of their carbon footprint? And even more so, who actually grant-funded all these shysters to fly to Portugal for their weekend reality-denial fest? And even more, more so if it was us – which of course it was, via our governments, the UN and the EU – why we can’t have our money back NOW.

Wattsy’s site was responsible for another classic this week which you must read if you haven’t already: Willis Eschenbach’s magisterial and hilarious essay Eight tenths of a degree? Think of the Grandchildren! I met Eschenbach at Heartland: terrifyingly loud shirts and an aura of tousled levity and almost childlike sweetness which might give you the impression that he’s just a barmy eccentric. Make no mistake, though, this man is a genius. I’ll reprint the opening paragraphs to give you a taste:

James Hansen and others say that we owe it to our Grandchildren to get this climate question right. Hansen says “Grandchildren” with a capital G when he speaks of them so I will continue the practice. I mean, for PR purposes, Grandchildren with a capital letter outrank even Puppies with a capital letter, and I can roll with that.

In any case Hansen got me to thinking about the world of 2050. Many, likely even most people reading this in 2010 will have Grandchildren in 2050. Heck, I might have some myself. So I started to consider the world we will leave our Grandchildren in 2050.

In a recent post here on WUWT, Thomas Fuller floated a proposal that we adopt a couple of degrees as the expected temperature rise over the century. He says in the comments to his thread that

I think we owe it to the people of the world to give them an idea of how much warming they can expect, so they can plan their buildings, businesses, roads and lives. They matter. They don’t care how much of it is due to CO2 or how much is rebound from a LIA due to forcings we don’t understand. They don’t. They probably shouldn’t.

We have temperature rises that we can almost trust from 1958 that show a trend of about 2 degrees for this century if things go on.

To start with, I don’t think we owe people anything more than the scientific truth as we understand it. And if we don’t understand it, as in the case of what the climate may be like over the rest of this century, we definitely owe it to the people to simply say “We don’t know”. Those three little words, so hard to say … so no, we don’t owe people a number if we don’t have one.

Read the rest here. If you haven’t the time let me summarise his truly scary conclusion: that by 2050 our planet might possibly have warmed by….

Eight tenths of a degree!

How will our grandchildren cope?

“The consensus is over-whelming that anthropogenic air pollution by greenhouse gases (mostly CO2) is causing climate change” … NOT!!!
