It seems to me its the far left, indoctrinated, weak people who fall to this ideologic insanity. Others continue to procreate. The proportion of society that is weak and fooled is therefore declining. FWIW i see this trend as a silver lining.
It most certainly doesn’t solve the evil inherent in all of this, as the west will suffer much until it learns lost lessons in truth. And stands to be scooped up into tyrants’ greedy hands; those within and those from afar.

I am sure that these climate bullshit belivers people do not know that only aproximately 10% of the earth is populated by "oh, we are too many" and about 65 percent of the earth is unexplored. The 'scientists", media and politicians are too busy to help indoctrinating people and put each one in a closed box, feeding them with lies, fear and lack of hope. Just sick and evil this desire of some for power, control and depopulation.
We are today, at the very, very bottom of CO2 levels, although up a tad from 100 years ago.
Just some notes:
Or as the most widely quoted meteorologist in history – and whom my brother studied under – Reid Bryson said, “If the climate were a 100 story building, man’s contribution would be equal to the linoleum on the first floor,” and “You could spit in the ocean and have more effect on it than man’s contribution to climate.” The Foundation also notes: “After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940; Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high; the 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends; The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited; Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming; Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago; Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds; Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”; Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming; A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control; Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere; It is a falsehood that the earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder; The IPCC claims climate driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance” but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research; The IPCC threat of climate change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are at least one million years old, which means they have all been through hundreds of climate cycles; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels are our best hope of raising crop yields to feed an ever-growing population; The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels of some so-called “greenhouse gases” may be contributing to higher oxygen levels and global cooling, not warming; Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in global temperatures; Today’s CO2 concentration of around 385 ppm is very low compared to most of the earth’s history – we actually live in a carbon-deficient atmosphere; It is a myth that CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas because greenhouse gases form about 3% of the atmosphere by volume, and CO2 constitutes about 0.037% of the atmosphere; It is a myth that computer models verify that CO2 increases will cause significant global warming because computer models can be made to “verify” anything; The world “warmed” by 0.07 +/- 0.07 degrees C from 1999 to 2008, not the 0.20 degrees C expected by the IPCC; The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says “it is likely that future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense” but there has been no increase in the intensity or frequency of tropical cyclones globally’ Rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere can be shown not only to have a negligible effect on the Earth’s many ecosystems, but in some cases to be a positive help to many organisms; Rising CO2 levels increase plant growth and make plants more resistant to drought and pests and the historical increase in the air’s CO2 content has improved human nutrition by raising crop yields during the past 150 years; The Met Office asserts we are in the hottest decade since records began but this is precisely what the world should expect if the climate is cyclical; The increase of the air’s CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; The head of Britain’s climate change watchdog has predicted households will need to spend up to £15,000 on a full energy efficiency makeover if the Government is to meet its ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions; Wind power is unlikely to be the answer to our energy needs. The wind power industry argues that there are “no direct subsidies” but it involves a total subsidy of as much as £60 per MWh which falls directly on electricity consumers. This burden will grow in line with attempts to achieve Wind power targets, according to a recent OFGEM report; Wind farms are not an efficient way to produce energy. The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) accepts a figure of 75 per cent back-up power is required; Global temperatures are below the low end of IPCC predictions not at “at the top end of IPCC estimates”; Climate alarmists have raised the concern over acidification of the oceans but Tom Segalstad from Oslo University in Norway , and others, have noted that the composition of ocean water – including CO2, calcium, and water – can act as a buffering agent in the acidification of the oceans; The UN’s IPCC computer models of human-caused global warming predict the emergence of a “hotspot” in the upper troposphere over the tropics. Former researcher in the Australian Department of Climate Change, David Evans, said there is no evidence of such a hotspot; William Kininmonth, a former head of the National Climate Centre and a consultant to the World Meteorological Organisation, wrote “the likely extent of global temperature rise from a doubling of CO2 is less than 1C. Such warming is well within the envelope of variation experienced during the past 10,000 years and insignificant in the context of glacial cycles during the past million years, when Earth has been predominantly very cold and covered by extensive ice sheets”; The UN’s panel on climate change warned that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035. J. Graham Cogley a professor at Ontario Trent University, claims this inaccurate stating the UN authors got the date from an earlier report wrong by more than 300 years; Under existing Kyoto obligations the EU has attempted to claim success, while actually increasing emissions by 13 per cent, according to Lord Lawson.
Thank you for your answer. Mostly all the emanations of the "scientists" about the number of years, billions, millions, about what they belive, think, suppose, claim, have hypothesis is just literature. They do not know even how the earth formed, they don't know how life originate on earth, they do not have have accurate measurements of anything, history and suppositions are interpreted and fabricated and what some thought is true, in few years become untrue, statistics are very fabricated too ....all these aspects in the present context of our times should make us think more about why and where the lies we are living in and the politics will lead us to.
I understand that the current situation is causing you distress. From what you've shared, it seems like you find the analysis of social scientists from previous generations, like Ralph Milliband and Christopher Lasch, to be accurate. They warned us about how our Western governments intentionally reduced our intellectual capacity. Additionally, I would recommend checking out Chapter 7 of Kees van der Pijl's latest book, as it gave me a lot of hope. Best regards, Luc.
Hi Luc I watched the video you recommended and plan to make it a feature of one of the next substacks. I will definitely read your recommendations. It is not merely distress: I am also trying to persuade in order to instill the necessary dialogue for transformational change. we have to know what we are organizing 'against'. I studied math and science and can dissect all kinds of concepts from those subjects, increasingly in finance. I studied law. My masters thesis was in conflicts of interest. I wonder how that hones my view. My examination of my world has been from a first principled view point where and how it add ups logically. My hobbies were poetry, scripts, novels and mostly fiction writing and reading. The substack is a departure from that type of writing. I loved reading history as well as biography. I'm happy to have any reading recommendations to assist my erudition into areas that will assist my understanding and voice: social science; philosophy, military learning. so those who want to weigh in on this comment can.
If you're interested in history, I highly recommend reading Walter Scheidel's book "The Great Leveler" from 2017. It offers valuable insights and potential solutions to the challenges we're currently facing. Additionally, Van der Pijl's work is worth exploring. Florian Philipot, a French activist, has done an excellent job raising awareness about the negative impacts of the World Economic Forum's actions.
“Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.’” What we are witnessing is a spiritual war between good and evil.
Or as the most widely quoted meteorologist in history – and whom my brother studied under – the late Reid Bryson said, “If the climate were a 100 story building, man’s contribution would be equal to the linoleum on the first floor,” and “You could spit in the ocean and have more effect on it than man’s contribution to climate.” Dr Richard Lindzen, prof of atmospheric science at MIT, Dr. William Gray, the #1 hurricane forecaster in the world, and the late founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman have all called AGW - their words, ipsissima verba, not mine, "a scam."
The Foundation also notes: “After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940; Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high; the 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends; The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited; Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming; Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago;

Rising CO2 levels increase plant growth and make plants more resistant to drought and pests and the historical increase in the air’s CO2 content has improved human nutrition by raising crop yields during the past 150 years; The Met Office asserts we are in the hottest decade since records began but this is precisely what the world should expect if the climate is cyclical; The increase of the air’s CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; The head of Britain’s climate change watchdog has predicted households will need to spend up to £15,000 on a full energy efficiency makeover if the Government is to meet its ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions; Wind power is unlikely to be the answer to our energy needs.

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, verify quote here, http://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/11079 and whose Greenpeace boat I have PERSONALLY been on in Vancouver Harbour in the 1980s.
“I am a skeptic on climate change. I know the climate is changing, and it always has been. I've studied this intensively over many years. I started what I call the Carbon Project here in British Columbia back in 1989 in order to bring everybody together to discuss this subject and figure out the facts behind it. Since then, I have watched as hysteria has grown, as if the whole world is going to come to an end and civilization is going to die because of humans causing this climate change. I don't buy that, and I certainly know we don't have any proof of it. I'm not denying that we might be playing some role, but the natural factors that have always caused climate change have not suddenly disappeared. I'm very skeptical of the alarmist nature of climate campaigning.” –
Moore later wrote in his book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom (WattsUpWithThat summary here or Technocracy News summary here) that “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both. Thus, the vast majority of people have no way of observing and verifying for themselves the truth of these claims predicting these alleged catastrophes and devastating threats. Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists – all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject – to tell them the truth. This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency.”
In his book Moore said “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both.

This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency. No one can actually see, or in any way sense, what CO2 might actually be doing because it is invisible, odorless, tasteless, silent and cannot be felt by the sense of touch. Therefore, it is difficult to refute such claims because there is nothing to point to and tangibly expose the falsity of these claims.”
Dr. Lee Merrit, an Iowa-based CO2 expert, reports that the earth is actually suffering from a CO2 shortage. The earth needs an average of 1,600 Parts Per Million (PPM) of CO2 in the atmosphere to support us. Currently, we have 410 PPM. In other words, nature is facing a CO2 starvation. Plants – including those we need to feed us — won’t be able to grow.
If you want a good source with real scientists on AGW, check out Anthony Watts' Wattsupwiththat.com, or check out the Cornwall Alliance
Here is just about 5% of "follow the science' quotes on AGW I have
“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”
“Inevitably in climate science, when data conflicts with models, a small coterie of scientists can be counted upon to modify the data...That the data should always need correcting to agree with models is totally implausible and indicative of a certain corruption within the climate science community.” Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science, MIT
Claude Allegre, a “founding father of AGW theory,” has now come out against this, stating “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”
“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that carbon dioxide from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. “It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that carbon dioxide, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.”— Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, MIT. Source
Lindzen also wrote “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”
Dr Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the last 50 to 100 years.
Piers Corbin, astrophysicist, founder of Weather Action, 2002 said that current weather patterns have nothing to do with man-made climate change. Instead, Corbin flatly states that those pushing this narrative are just trying to make money. “Climate has always been changing,” and “this has nothing to do with man.” Weather this year is “caused by circulation patterns… and CO2 does not cause circulation patterns. What causes those is a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon” ; the only connection with man is that he is “here at the same time the sun and the moon are doing things. A very similar situation happened about 132 years ago where there was the same sun, magnetic, lunar states (and) there was a heat wave in Russia and floods in Pakistan as now. These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon and nothing to do with mankind. Those who say that are just trying to make money… I assure you, this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide” In his words, see here, 2:27 min.
“The climate scare (is) the biggest deception in history…”Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba
Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.
“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.
“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.
“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review. (Note: there really IS a Flat Earth Society, at http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/, whose president Daniel Shenton, thinks “the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage is contributing to global warming.” (See www.tinyurl.com/ozn2wfe. So much for Obama’s comment that “We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”
“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The recent World Climate Declaration signed by around 250 university professors, and led by a Nobel physics laureate, noted that models had many shortcomings, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools” This declaration notes that natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming, warming is far slower than predicted, climate policy relies on inadequate models, CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth, global warming has not increased natural disasters, and that climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. Here are all the PhD signatories.
“Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.
“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” - Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.
Are people so utterly stupid to have forgotten the ClimateGate scam? Even lead warmer Phil Jones of top AGW univ East Anglia in the UK was forced to admit on BBC that the MWP (which most idiot warmers have ZERO idea what this is, despite it being a meteorology 101 term) was real.
Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace, has gone on record against the global warming hysteria (see his interview in the movie Not Evil, Just Wrong), and went on record as saying “We are told C02 is toxic and a pollutant, or a toxic pollutant, even better. It’s so ironic because anyone who knows anything about biology knows that C02 is the most important nutrient for all of life. It’s the currency of life.”
In 2015 Moore also stated “My skepticism (about the global warmers) begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures. In fact, the Earth has been warming very gradually for 300 years, since the Little Ice Age ended, long before heavy use of fossil fuels. Prior to the Little Ice Age, during the Medieval Warm Period, Vikings colonized Greenland and Newfoundland, when it was warmer there than today. And during Roman times, it was warmer, long before fossil fuels revolutionized civilization.”
My brother who did his grad work in meteorology under the late Reid Bryson, THE most quoted meteorologist in history at time of his death, said that if the climate were a 100 story building, man's contribution would be equivalent to the linoleum on the first floor.
The FOUNDER of the Weather Channel, the late John Coleman, has stated he would like to sue Al Gore for fraud, stating that taking legal action against Gore would be a great “vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.” (http://www.citizensugar.com/1093812; see also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfHW7KR33IQ&feature=related ) and also noted the UN sponsored global warming scare is “the greatest scam in history.” (William Jasper, the New American,Jan. 21, 2008, p. 44). Mr. Coleman followed this all up by giving a lecture at the 26th annual Doctors for Disaster Preparedness meeting in Mesa, AZ. on July 12, 2008, entitled Global Warming: the Greatest Scam in History.
The 2008 International Geologic Conference showed that 2 out of 3 presenters and questioners were hostile or dismissive of the IPCC’s stance on global warming. Of particular note is Dr. Singer reviewing in book Unstoppable Global Warming – Every 1,500 Years, how sunspot activity is related to weaker irradiance of the sun, has this has a 95% correlation with cooling and warming cycles. Dr. Singer also notes solar fluctuations, related to sunspot activity, has been measured in satellites. This impacts the ultraviolet aspect of solar radiation, in turn affecting the amount of ozone in the stratosphere, as well as affecting the solar wind that modulates the intensity of cosmic rays, which in turn affect the creation of cloud nuclei and cloud creation – and low clouds are one of earth’s cooling mechanisms, and thus impact climate. In fact, Dr. Singer refers to a paper in Nature, 2001, detailing oxygen-18 data – which reflects temperature – from a 3,000 year old stalagmite from a cave in Oman, and correlates this with carbon-14, which is directly related to cosmic ray intensity, noting “One sees there a remarkably detailed correlation, almost on a year-by-year basis.” Dr. Singer is not alone in suggesting the UN IPCC is missing the boat. A 2009 paper by Scafetta and Wilson state that the IPCC has used faulty solar data as they discounted the effects of solar variability. In fact, separate research by Scafetta and other indicate solar variability might make up 68% of any increase in global temperatures.
Don't want a baby due to global warming? Then you probably shouldn't, because you are in the running for winning the Darwin award for stupidity.
The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years. And this is not just for Europe, Greenland and North America, yet another red herring that has recently been thrown out by the desperate global warmers. The universality of the Viking and Mediaeval climatic optimums is written about by Kegwin, who wrote in Science, 1996:274:1504-1508, at https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.274.5292.1504 the mean surface temp of the Sargasso Sea (which lies roughly between the West Indies and the Azores), which was obtained by readings of isotope ratios in marine organism remains in sediment, shows we are, today, below the three thousand year average, and far below the Medieval Climatic Optimum, albeit far above the LIA. Civil Defense Perspectives, Mar. 2007, Vol. 23, #3, p. 1, notes that evidence for this climatic optimum has been found in all but 2 out of 103 locations where it was examined for, including Asia, Africa, South America and the western U.S. The graph if you follow the link of temperature in the Sargasso Sea tells you all you need to know (note: that big horizontal line running across the page is the 3,000 year average!), Interestingly, the warmer times coincided not only with the best harvests, but also the least amount of major storm activity.
In case you would like corroboration of Kegwin’s study, Dr. Roy Spencer has a similar chart found at www.drroyspencer.com – see below - charting temperatures for the past two thousand years. Further, in a 2010 Russian study by Dergachev and Raspopov, they clearly found that not only are tree ring studies not very conclusive when compared to ice core data, but that solar cycles are telling, with the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change summarizing the work by stating “a detailed 750-year temperature reconstruction from an ice core in Siberia agrees well with measures of solar modulation based on sunspot number and carbon-14 and Be-10 estimates, and that the agreement is remarkable at multi-decadal time scales, ” and concluding that “Dergachev and Raspopov compare the solar indices of the past millennium with the borehole temperature reconstructions, demonstrating that the borehole data and solar indices agree on the long-term temperature pattern of the past thousand years. That is to say, the two parameters imply the existence of a solar-induced Medieval Warm Period (MWP) around AD 1000 to 1300 and a Little Ice Age (LIA) in the 1600s to 1700s. Thus, their study pretty much proves the existence of a global MWP, while demonstrating the link between the MWP-LIA oscillation and solar activity (see also http://tinyurl.com/227zg4 ) And it indicates that the MWP was roughly as warm as -- or possibly even warmer than -- it has been to date during the Current Warm Period.
More evidence of the MWP was published in 2010, including a study by Billeaud, Tessier, and Lesueur in 2009 of the area around Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, France, showing that the Holocene has been regularly punctuated by warming periods, occurring every 1500 years, +/- 500 years The MWP also, apparently, existed in Central Asia, also as summarized by the NIPCC at http://www.nipccreport.org/articles/2010/jul/28jul2010a5.html, of an article by Chen, et al, 2010. Moisture changes over the last millennium in arid central Asia: A review, synthesis and comparison with monsoon region. Quaternary Science Reviews 29: 1055-1068. Even the Chinese are in on the act: CM Ma, et al, “analyzed multi-proxy data, including, in their words, "14C, grain size, microfossil, plant seeds, and geochemical elements" -- which they obtained from sediment retrieved from excavations made in the dry lake bed of Lop Nur China's West Lake (40°27'129" N, 90°20'083" E) -- in order "to amply discuss," as they describe it, "the climate and environment changes during the MWP," or Medieval Warm Period, which they identified as occurring between AD 900 and 1300. So what did they find?... Ma et al. conclude that ‘the environment was the best,’ stating that "temperature was almost the same [as] or a little higher than [italics added] nowadays." Once again, one can see that Mr. Gore has confused the emergence from the mini ice age with anthropogenic global warming.
In case you need yet more evidence of the Medieval Climatic Optimum, the NIPC.org cites a study by Kobashi et al. (2010) where "in Greenland, oxygen isotopes of ice (Stuiver et al., 1995) have been extensively used as a temperature proxy, but the data are noisy and do not clearly show multi-centennial trends for the last 1,000 years in contrast to borehole temperature records that show a clear 'Little Ice Age' and 'Medieval Warm Period' (Dahl-Jensen et al., 1998)." However, they note that nitrogen (N) and argon (Ar) isotopic ratios -- 15N/14N and 40Ar/36Ar, respectively -- can be used to construct a temperature record that "is not seasonally biased, and does not require any calibration to instrumental records, and resolves decadal to centennial temperature fluctuations
It seems to me its the far left, indoctrinated, weak people who fall to this ideologic insanity. Others continue to procreate. The proportion of society that is weak and fooled is therefore declining. FWIW i see this trend as a silver lining.
It most certainly doesn’t solve the evil inherent in all of this, as the west will suffer much until it learns lost lessons in truth. And stands to be scooped up into tyrants’ greedy hands; those within and those from afar.
I am sure that these climate bullshit belivers people do not know that only aproximately 10% of the earth is populated by "oh, we are too many" and about 65 percent of the earth is unexplored. The 'scientists", media and politicians are too busy to help indoctrinating people and put each one in a closed box, feeding them with lies, fear and lack of hope. Just sick and evil this desire of some for power, control and depopulation.
Or that where co2 is below. 02 percent plants cease growing.
How they, who, where, measure it? Is that like pcrs for covid?
We are today, at the very, very bottom of CO2 levels, although up a tad from 100 years ago.
Just some notes:
Or as the most widely quoted meteorologist in history – and whom my brother studied under – Reid Bryson said, “If the climate were a 100 story building, man’s contribution would be equal to the linoleum on the first floor,” and “You could spit in the ocean and have more effect on it than man’s contribution to climate.” The Foundation also notes: “After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940; Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high; the 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends; The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited; Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming; Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago; Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds; Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”; Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming; A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control; Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere; It is a falsehood that the earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder; The IPCC claims climate driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance” but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research; The IPCC threat of climate change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are at least one million years old, which means they have all been through hundreds of climate cycles; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels are our best hope of raising crop yields to feed an ever-growing population; The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago; Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels of some so-called “greenhouse gases” may be contributing to higher oxygen levels and global cooling, not warming; Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in global temperatures; Today’s CO2 concentration of around 385 ppm is very low compared to most of the earth’s history – we actually live in a carbon-deficient atmosphere; It is a myth that CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas because greenhouse gases form about 3% of the atmosphere by volume, and CO2 constitutes about 0.037% of the atmosphere; It is a myth that computer models verify that CO2 increases will cause significant global warming because computer models can be made to “verify” anything; The world “warmed” by 0.07 +/- 0.07 degrees C from 1999 to 2008, not the 0.20 degrees C expected by the IPCC; The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says “it is likely that future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense” but there has been no increase in the intensity or frequency of tropical cyclones globally’ Rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere can be shown not only to have a negligible effect on the Earth’s many ecosystems, but in some cases to be a positive help to many organisms; Rising CO2 levels increase plant growth and make plants more resistant to drought and pests and the historical increase in the air’s CO2 content has improved human nutrition by raising crop yields during the past 150 years; The Met Office asserts we are in the hottest decade since records began but this is precisely what the world should expect if the climate is cyclical; The increase of the air’s CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; The head of Britain’s climate change watchdog has predicted households will need to spend up to £15,000 on a full energy efficiency makeover if the Government is to meet its ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions; Wind power is unlikely to be the answer to our energy needs. The wind power industry argues that there are “no direct subsidies” but it involves a total subsidy of as much as £60 per MWh which falls directly on electricity consumers. This burden will grow in line with attempts to achieve Wind power targets, according to a recent OFGEM report; Wind farms are not an efficient way to produce energy. The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) accepts a figure of 75 per cent back-up power is required; Global temperatures are below the low end of IPCC predictions not at “at the top end of IPCC estimates”; Climate alarmists have raised the concern over acidification of the oceans but Tom Segalstad from Oslo University in Norway , and others, have noted that the composition of ocean water – including CO2, calcium, and water – can act as a buffering agent in the acidification of the oceans; The UN’s IPCC computer models of human-caused global warming predict the emergence of a “hotspot” in the upper troposphere over the tropics. Former researcher in the Australian Department of Climate Change, David Evans, said there is no evidence of such a hotspot; William Kininmonth, a former head of the National Climate Centre and a consultant to the World Meteorological Organisation, wrote “the likely extent of global temperature rise from a doubling of CO2 is less than 1C. Such warming is well within the envelope of variation experienced during the past 10,000 years and insignificant in the context of glacial cycles during the past million years, when Earth has been predominantly very cold and covered by extensive ice sheets”; The UN’s panel on climate change warned that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035. J. Graham Cogley a professor at Ontario Trent University, claims this inaccurate stating the UN authors got the date from an earlier report wrong by more than 300 years; Under existing Kyoto obligations the EU has attempted to claim success, while actually increasing emissions by 13 per cent, according to Lord Lawson.
Thank you for your answer. Mostly all the emanations of the "scientists" about the number of years, billions, millions, about what they belive, think, suppose, claim, have hypothesis is just literature. They do not know even how the earth formed, they don't know how life originate on earth, they do not have have accurate measurements of anything, history and suppositions are interpreted and fabricated and what some thought is true, in few years become untrue, statistics are very fabricated too ....all these aspects in the present context of our times should make us think more about why and where the lies we are living in and the politics will lead us to.
I understand that the current situation is causing you distress. From what you've shared, it seems like you find the analysis of social scientists from previous generations, like Ralph Milliband and Christopher Lasch, to be accurate. They warned us about how our Western governments intentionally reduced our intellectual capacity. Additionally, I would recommend checking out Chapter 7 of Kees van der Pijl's latest book, as it gave me a lot of hope. Best regards, Luc.
Hi Luc I watched the video you recommended and plan to make it a feature of one of the next substacks. I will definitely read your recommendations. It is not merely distress: I am also trying to persuade in order to instill the necessary dialogue for transformational change. we have to know what we are organizing 'against'. I studied math and science and can dissect all kinds of concepts from those subjects, increasingly in finance. I studied law. My masters thesis was in conflicts of interest. I wonder how that hones my view. My examination of my world has been from a first principled view point where and how it add ups logically. My hobbies were poetry, scripts, novels and mostly fiction writing and reading. The substack is a departure from that type of writing. I loved reading history as well as biography. I'm happy to have any reading recommendations to assist my erudition into areas that will assist my understanding and voice: social science; philosophy, military learning. so those who want to weigh in on this comment can.
If you're interested in history, I highly recommend reading Walter Scheidel's book "The Great Leveler" from 2017. It offers valuable insights and potential solutions to the challenges we're currently facing. Additionally, Van der Pijl's work is worth exploring. Florian Philipot, a French activist, has done an excellent job raising awareness about the negative impacts of the World Economic Forum's actions.

“Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.’” What we are witnessing is a spiritual war between good and evil.
It is that in spades.

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, verify quote here, http://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/11079 and whose Greenpeace boat I have PERSONALLY been on in Vancouver Harbour in the 1980s.
“I am a skeptic on climate change. I know the climate is changing, and it always has been. I've studied this intensively over many years. I started what I call the Carbon Project here in British Columbia back in 1989 in order to bring everybody together to discuss this subject and figure out the facts behind it. Since then, I have watched as hysteria has grown, as if the whole world is going to come to an end and civilization is going to die because of humans causing this climate change. I don't buy that, and I certainly know we don't have any proof of it. I'm not denying that we might be playing some role, but the natural factors that have always caused climate change have not suddenly disappeared. I'm very skeptical of the alarmist nature of climate campaigning.” –
Moore later wrote in his book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom (WattsUpWithThat summary here or Technocracy News summary here) that “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both. Thus, the vast majority of people have no way of observing and verifying for themselves the truth of these claims predicting these alleged catastrophes and devastating threats. Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists – all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject – to tell them the truth. This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency.”
In his book Moore said “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both.

This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency. No one can actually see, or in any way sense, what CO2 might actually be doing because it is invisible, odorless, tasteless, silent and cannot be felt by the sense of touch. Therefore, it is difficult to refute such claims because there is nothing to point to and tangibly expose the falsity of these claims.”
Dr. Lee Merrit, an Iowa-based CO2 expert, reports that the earth is actually suffering from a CO2 shortage. The earth needs an average of 1,600 Parts Per Million (PPM) of CO2 in the atmosphere to support us. Currently, we have 410 PPM. In other words, nature is facing a CO2 starvation. Plants – including those we need to feed us — won’t be able to grow.
If you want a good source with real scientists on AGW, check out Anthony Watts' Wattsupwiththat.com, or check out the Cornwall Alliance
Here is just about 5% of "follow the science' quotes on AGW I have
“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”
“Inevitably in climate science, when data conflicts with models, a small coterie of scientists can be counted upon to modify the data...That the data should always need correcting to agree with models is totally implausible and indicative of a certain corruption within the climate science community.” Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science, MIT
Claude Allegre, a “founding father of AGW theory,” has now come out against this, stating “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”
“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that carbon dioxide from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. “It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that carbon dioxide, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.”— Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, MIT. Source
https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf
Lindzen also wrote “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”
Dr Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the last 50 to 100 years.
Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University, ”There isn’t a climate crisis. There will not be a climate crisis. It is utter nonsense.” https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf
Piers Corbin, astrophysicist, founder of Weather Action, 2002 said that current weather patterns have nothing to do with man-made climate change. Instead, Corbin flatly states that those pushing this narrative are just trying to make money. “Climate has always been changing,” and “this has nothing to do with man.” Weather this year is “caused by circulation patterns… and CO2 does not cause circulation patterns. What causes those is a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon” ; the only connection with man is that he is “here at the same time the sun and the moon are doing things. A very similar situation happened about 132 years ago where there was the same sun, magnetic, lunar states (and) there was a heat wave in Russia and floods in Pakistan as now. These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon and nothing to do with mankind. Those who say that are just trying to make money… I assure you, this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide” In his words, see here, 2:27 min.
“The climate scare (is) the biggest deception in history…”Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba
Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.
“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.
“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.
“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review. (Note: there really IS a Flat Earth Society, at http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/, whose president Daniel Shenton, thinks “the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage is contributing to global warming.” (See www.tinyurl.com/ozn2wfe. So much for Obama’s comment that “We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”
“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The recent World Climate Declaration signed by around 250 university professors, and led by a Nobel physics laureate, noted that models had many shortcomings, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools” This declaration notes that natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming, warming is far slower than predicted, climate policy relies on inadequate models, CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth, global warming has not increased natural disasters, and that climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. Here are all the PhD signatories.
“Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.
“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” - Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.
Are people so utterly stupid to have forgotten the ClimateGate scam? Even lead warmer Phil Jones of top AGW univ East Anglia in the UK was forced to admit on BBC that the MWP (which most idiot warmers have ZERO idea what this is, despite it being a meteorology 101 term) was real.
Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace, has gone on record against the global warming hysteria (see his interview in the movie Not Evil, Just Wrong), and went on record as saying “We are told C02 is toxic and a pollutant, or a toxic pollutant, even better. It’s so ironic because anyone who knows anything about biology knows that C02 is the most important nutrient for all of life. It’s the currency of life.”
In 2015 Moore also stated “My skepticism (about the global warmers) begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures. In fact, the Earth has been warming very gradually for 300 years, since the Little Ice Age ended, long before heavy use of fossil fuels. Prior to the Little Ice Age, during the Medieval Warm Period, Vikings colonized Greenland and Newfoundland, when it was warmer there than today. And during Roman times, it was warmer, long before fossil fuels revolutionized civilization.”
My brother who did his grad work in meteorology under the late Reid Bryson, THE most quoted meteorologist in history at time of his death, said that if the climate were a 100 story building, man's contribution would be equivalent to the linoleum on the first floor.
The FOUNDER of the Weather Channel, the late John Coleman, has stated he would like to sue Al Gore for fraud, stating that taking legal action against Gore would be a great “vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.” (http://www.citizensugar.com/1093812; see also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfHW7KR33IQ&feature=related ) and also noted the UN sponsored global warming scare is “the greatest scam in history.” (William Jasper, the New American,Jan. 21, 2008, p. 44). Mr. Coleman followed this all up by giving a lecture at the 26th annual Doctors for Disaster Preparedness meeting in Mesa, AZ. on July 12, 2008, entitled Global Warming: the Greatest Scam in History.
The 2008 International Geologic Conference showed that 2 out of 3 presenters and questioners were hostile or dismissive of the IPCC’s stance on global warming. Of particular note is Dr. Singer reviewing in book Unstoppable Global Warming – Every 1,500 Years, how sunspot activity is related to weaker irradiance of the sun, has this has a 95% correlation with cooling and warming cycles. Dr. Singer also notes solar fluctuations, related to sunspot activity, has been measured in satellites. This impacts the ultraviolet aspect of solar radiation, in turn affecting the amount of ozone in the stratosphere, as well as affecting the solar wind that modulates the intensity of cosmic rays, which in turn affect the creation of cloud nuclei and cloud creation – and low clouds are one of earth’s cooling mechanisms, and thus impact climate. In fact, Dr. Singer refers to a paper in Nature, 2001, detailing oxygen-18 data – which reflects temperature – from a 3,000 year old stalagmite from a cave in Oman, and correlates this with carbon-14, which is directly related to cosmic ray intensity, noting “One sees there a remarkably detailed correlation, almost on a year-by-year basis.” Dr. Singer is not alone in suggesting the UN IPCC is missing the boat. A 2009 paper by Scafetta and Wilson state that the IPCC has used faulty solar data as they discounted the effects of solar variability. In fact, separate research by Scafetta and other indicate solar variability might make up 68% of any increase in global temperatures.
Don't want a baby due to global warming? Then you probably shouldn't, because you are in the running for winning the Darwin award for stupidity.
The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years. And this is not just for Europe, Greenland and North America, yet another red herring that has recently been thrown out by the desperate global warmers. The universality of the Viking and Mediaeval climatic optimums is written about by Kegwin, who wrote in Science, 1996:274:1504-1508, at https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.274.5292.1504 the mean surface temp of the Sargasso Sea (which lies roughly between the West Indies and the Azores), which was obtained by readings of isotope ratios in marine organism remains in sediment, shows we are, today, below the three thousand year average, and far below the Medieval Climatic Optimum, albeit far above the LIA. Civil Defense Perspectives, Mar. 2007, Vol. 23, #3, p. 1, notes that evidence for this climatic optimum has been found in all but 2 out of 103 locations where it was examined for, including Asia, Africa, South America and the western U.S. The graph if you follow the link of temperature in the Sargasso Sea tells you all you need to know (note: that big horizontal line running across the page is the 3,000 year average!), Interestingly, the warmer times coincided not only with the best harvests, but also the least amount of major storm activity.
Or let’s put it another way, from the Dansgaard & Johnson study, here on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Average-near-surface-temperatures-of-the-northern-hemisphere-during-the-past-11000-years_fig5_313127868 shows the exact same thing: We are warmer... but that is because we are still coming out of the LIA. That's Little Ice Age for the ignorant warmers.
In case you would like corroboration of Kegwin’s study, Dr. Roy Spencer has a similar chart found at www.drroyspencer.com – see below - charting temperatures for the past two thousand years. Further, in a 2010 Russian study by Dergachev and Raspopov, they clearly found that not only are tree ring studies not very conclusive when compared to ice core data, but that solar cycles are telling, with the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change summarizing the work by stating “a detailed 750-year temperature reconstruction from an ice core in Siberia agrees well with measures of solar modulation based on sunspot number and carbon-14 and Be-10 estimates, and that the agreement is remarkable at multi-decadal time scales, ” and concluding that “Dergachev and Raspopov compare the solar indices of the past millennium with the borehole temperature reconstructions, demonstrating that the borehole data and solar indices agree on the long-term temperature pattern of the past thousand years. That is to say, the two parameters imply the existence of a solar-induced Medieval Warm Period (MWP) around AD 1000 to 1300 and a Little Ice Age (LIA) in the 1600s to 1700s. Thus, their study pretty much proves the existence of a global MWP, while demonstrating the link between the MWP-LIA oscillation and solar activity (see also http://tinyurl.com/227zg4 ) And it indicates that the MWP was roughly as warm as -- or possibly even warmer than -- it has been to date during the Current Warm Period.
More evidence of the MWP was published in 2010, including a study by Billeaud, Tessier, and Lesueur in 2009 of the area around Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, France, showing that the Holocene has been regularly punctuated by warming periods, occurring every 1500 years, +/- 500 years The MWP also, apparently, existed in Central Asia, also as summarized by the NIPCC at http://www.nipccreport.org/articles/2010/jul/28jul2010a5.html, of an article by Chen, et al, 2010. Moisture changes over the last millennium in arid central Asia: A review, synthesis and comparison with monsoon region. Quaternary Science Reviews 29: 1055-1068. Even the Chinese are in on the act: CM Ma, et al, “analyzed multi-proxy data, including, in their words, "14C, grain size, microfossil, plant seeds, and geochemical elements" -- which they obtained from sediment retrieved from excavations made in the dry lake bed of Lop Nur China's West Lake (40°27'129" N, 90°20'083" E) -- in order "to amply discuss," as they describe it, "the climate and environment changes during the MWP," or Medieval Warm Period, which they identified as occurring between AD 900 and 1300. So what did they find?... Ma et al. conclude that ‘the environment was the best,’ stating that "temperature was almost the same [as] or a little higher than [italics added] nowadays." Once again, one can see that Mr. Gore has confused the emergence from the mini ice age with anthropogenic global warming.
In case you need yet more evidence of the Medieval Climatic Optimum, the NIPC.org cites a study by Kobashi et al. (2010) where "in Greenland, oxygen isotopes of ice (Stuiver et al., 1995) have been extensively used as a temperature proxy, but the data are noisy and do not clearly show multi-centennial trends for the last 1,000 years in contrast to borehole temperature records that show a clear 'Little Ice Age' and 'Medieval Warm Period' (Dahl-Jensen et al., 1998)." However, they note that nitrogen (N) and argon (Ar) isotopic ratios -- 15N/14N and 40Ar/36Ar, respectively -- can be used to construct a temperature record that "is not seasonally biased, and does not require any calibration to instrumental records, and resolves decadal to centennial temperature fluctuations
The vaccine made them sterile, so it all worked out.
