CENTURIES EARLIER: HOTTER THE WORLD
Climate change models have disguised temperature data that is at odds with its CO2 claims.
In today’s world the most controversial topic is the climate change or global warming. The IPCC published the statement in its fourth assessment report.
“Glaciers in the Himalaya are receding faster than in any other part of the world and if present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner current rate”. The statement came nearly verbatim from an article published in ‘Down to Earth’ on April 30, 1999. This piece of information had several controversies. The former ‘International Commission for Snow and Ice’ mentioned that total glacier area would shrink from the present 5,00,000 to 1,00,000 square km by the year 2035. But the Commission had referred to all glaciers outside the polar regions (not just in the Himalayas) and more importantly it had referred to 2350 and not 2035. In the Commission’s report also it mentioned that glaciers will survive in the Himalayas even then.
Climate change scientists say 2035 claim said was only a minor detail in report that was thousands of pages long and drew on date from thousands of sources. It is clear that the world was warmer during medieval times. By mapping the data published (all peer reviewed) by 752 individual scientists from 442 separate research institutions across the different countries and correlating their comparisons of temperature changes since medieval after factoring in the fact that these studies use a range of ice cores, stalagmites, sediments and isotopes, we find that temperatures were about 0.50C warmer worldwide.
Prior to IPCC’S third assessment report of 2001, the accepted depiction of the prior millennium’s warmth was that published in the panel’s 1990 maiden assessment global temperatures had fluctuated drastically over the period. Data derived from sources including tree rings, lake sediments, ice cores, and historical documents bear out that position. Indeed it’s abundantly evident that since the last glacier period ended over 14000 years ago, the Earth’s climates has undergone multi-century swings from warming to cooling that occur often and remarkable rapidity and not but one three such radical shifts occurred with in the past millennium.
The years 900-1300 AD have been labeled the Medieval Warming Period as global temperatures rose precipitously from the bitter cold of the previous epoch-the Dark Ages to levels several degrees warmer than today A sudden period of cooling then followed and lasted until the year 1850.
Given these natural shifts over the last past 1000 years, it is not surprising that after a period of cooling which followed a period of warming. Although at the moment we are blaming wrong on industrial revolution triggered at atmospheric CO2 increases. Something have been done to convince the world that modern warming was unprecedented and could therefore only be explained by something unnatural, specifically the green house effect.
The fact that temperatures were higher 1000 years ago and cooler 300 years ago. The Earth started warming long before cars and power stations were invented. There is little correlation with CO2 levels.
