Medieval Warming WAS Global – New Science Contradicts IPCC
23rd March 2012
More peer-reviewed science contradicting the warming-alarmist “scientific consensus” was announced yesterday, as a new study shows that the well-documented warm period which took place in medieval times was not limited to Europe, or the northern hemisphere: it reached all the way to Antarctica.
The research involved the development of a new means of assessing past temperatures, to add to existing methods such as tree ring analysis and ice cores. In this study, scientists analysed samples of a crystal called ikaite, which forms in cold waters.
But but but … there’s a Consensus!

Okay, so we have evidence that the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age may have affected temperatures in Antarctica. What, if any, effect did they have on, say, Greenland? Patagonia? The Sahel? Micronesia? Do we have any further corroboration that the events were ‘worldwide’? Some diary entries from the Mayans, maybe, to accompany their End Of The Universe calculations?
The findings, though interesting, are a somewhat sketchy lever with which to jetison the entire argument. If some farmer somewhere in Michigan turns up a few spent minee balls, does that ‘prove’ that minee balls were a worldwide phenomenon and therefore their concentration at Gettysburg cannot be evidence of a battle havng been fought there?
