From the first IPCC report
There is growing evidence that worldwide temperatures were higher than at present during the mid-Holocene (especially 5 000-6 000 BP), at least in summer, though carbon dioxide levels appear to have been quite similar to those of the pre-industrial era at this time (Section 1 i Thus parts were a few degrees warmer in July during the mid- Holocene than in recent decades (Yoshino and Urushibara, 1978, Webb ct al 1987, Huntley and Prentice, 1988, Zhang and Wang 1990) Parts of Australasia and Chile were also warmer. The late tenth to early thirteenth centuries (about AD 950-1250) appear to have been exceptionally warm in western Europe, Iceland and Greenland (Alexandre 1987, Lamb, 1988) This period is known as the Medieval Climatic Optimum China was, however, cold at this time (mainly in winter) but South Japan was warm (Yoshino, 1978) This period of widespread warmth is notable in that there is no evidence that it was accompanied by an increase of greenhouse gases
“Leading climate scientists such as David Karoly have become so exasperated by these tactics they will no longer debate the science with deniers.”

And they wonder why we call them alarmists? They (CSIRO and their sock puppet, the Crimate Council) make bullsh!t announcements about the Australian climate and then just repeat alarmist crap about the global climate referencing the IPCC, which has been discredited. Even the Aussie politicians and Newscorp, previously believers and advocates of the alarmist dribble are objecting to the alarmism.
Well, toughen up princess Karoly because your job is on the line. Your religion is flawed it will be found out and like Peter finch once said “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!”

Yes, there have been natural warm periods since the end of the Ice Age. Humans THRIVE during warm times and DIE during cold times. We should all be praying for global warming and hoping to avoid another ice age or cold cycle.
Well, those of us who do not hate human beings.
Long before Little Mikey came along, real scientists like Einstein, Planck and Aston recognized benevolence in the the force that powers the Sun and sustains our lives.
After that same force destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, frightened world leaders formed the UN and tried to control the public by telling us we would either freeze to death or burn up because the force wasn’t working properly without government intervention.
Al Gore, the UN’s IPCC, etc. are not scientists.
Real scientist would address the three figures of precise experimental data that falsified their “settled scientific” conclusions on the force that powers the Sun and sustains our lives [See Figures 1-3, pages 19-27 of Chapter 2].

Chapter 3 will emphasize information from Einstein, Planck and Aston about the benevolence, intelligence and creativity in the force that current world leaders fear.

Medieval Climatic Optimum. How quaint! Aren’t we teaching kids and the “critical thinkers” who read the New York Times and vote the straight Democratic ticket the current warm period represents the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
Actually the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced is glaciation and even NASA scientist think we may be facing a Maunder Minimum.
