I love media driven fables. I don't know how many times this stuff gets sold but seems like a constant refrain. A lot of money to be made I guess. Oh, I'm not saying the climate doesn't fluctuate just that the same chicken littles swore up down we were headed for a new ice age only 20 years ago. Again, science gets perverted to make political and economic points. Check this out and see what you think:
Media Shows Irrational Hysteria on Global Warming
"I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period." "The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of unusually warm weather that began around 1000 AD and persisted until a cold period known as the "Little Ice Age" took hold in the 14th century. ... The existence of the MWP had been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. But now it was a major embarrassment to those maintaining that the 20th century warming was truly anomalous. It had to be "gotten rid of."
