    Seems the Polar Bears survived the forest pretty well.

    Mann should use those tree rings.

      And as the tyrannical government is reaching its end
      the tyrants awarded themselves with the (2nd) highest honors.

      War criminal Hilary Clinton received the presidential mental of freedom.

      Joes Boss Soros awarded himself by Joe for initiating more coups around the world than the CiA – or as they use to say today: For strengthening democracy in 120 !!! countries with his no more borders foundation.

      The 1st monkey got the award too:
      Bonobo

      The first protozoon was also awarded:
      Bill Nye

      Magic Johnson got impragnated while receiving the Medal.
      He’s now full Roe Vs Wade.

        ” Insane Queue for EV charging ” /Mguy Australia

        How charging already looks like with only 4% EV marketshare.

        Bill Nye is a very smart man. if you’ve ever heard him talk, you will find he’s quite knowledgeable on many scientific subjects. then when he talks about climate he goes totally stupid. hhhmmm. how can that be? because it’s political and he wants to be in the good graces of the climate change crowd because …probably because that’s where the money is. about 7 years ago there was a total eclipse that passed through Nebraska. my ex-wife who’s an elementary school teacher went to see it as did I but not together, not in the same town, she ran into Bill Nye in Southeastern Nebraska and got his autograph. uffta. lol

          Bill is a mechanical engineer, with, as far as I know, the only EARNED degree being a BS. No MS. No PhD. No PE. Now, he may have received some honorary advanced degrees for his TV performances. It doesn’t mean he isn’t smart, but his pedigree is short.

        • arn says:

          Bill Nye is so smart
          that he made a video about only 2 genders
          (which was cancelled by netflix in the meantime)
          -and later,after it was disappeared, he made a video showing that there are many,many genders.

          He has all the smartness 97% of all experts,politicians and journalists have =
          having the political correct opinion to keep the money flowing.

          One thing seems clear – that “very smart man” has always been a clown. Not too many people know that Bill Nye was an actor on Seattle’s Almost Live as “Speedwalker.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6-SJLlneLc
          That, of course, is before Billy the clown transformed himself into “…the Science Guy.”

          A scientist – not even close. A clown – most definitely.

        • Disillusioned says:

          The Bill Nye The Science Guy character got his start while the actor was working as a comedy writer and appearing on Seattle’s Almost Live.

    Global warming alarmunists cannot see the forest for the trees.

    The news from 2013 are still online, e.g. https://www.livescience.com/39819-ancient-forest-thaws.html or https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/still-standing-ancient-alaskan-forest-thaws-melting-glacial-tomb-4b11215106

    But 2000 years ago was rather the roman warm period (roman optimum) than the holocene optimum which was some 8000 years ago.

    Interesting also, the “glacial advance between 1724 and 1794 A.D. that pushed Huna Tlingit off their land” in the little ice age when the glacier was growing and advancing “faster than a running dog.”

    It is well known that trees could grow much higher up the mountain and much closer to the poles during prolonged periods of time than today is possible.

  5. conrad ziefle says:

    2000 years ago? About the time of the Roman Empire, or the Roman warm period? Odd, that. My guess is that the Little Ice Age did not end in about 1850, but rather has been moving to the low end of a cycle, and that there really wasn’t a Little Ice Age, but rather, as they thought in the 1970s, the beginning of a regular Ice Age. The next “Little Ice Age” will be sooner than we think and longer than Michael Mann will predict.

  6. Bob G says:

    there are countless examples of the climate being warmer several thousand years ago than it is now. here’s a short list. glacier Park Montana glaciers are only about 3,000 to 4,000 years old… says the park literature found online. the tree line in Northern Canada has retreated South. Lake Michigan level was roughly 200 ft lower due to a dryer warmer climate. glacial retreat in Greenland reveals ancient Vikings settlements. prehistoric trees found in glaciers in the European Alps. South American glacial retreat reveals a warmer climate 5,000 years ago. has someone said facts are stubborn things

    Objective reality has no place in the climate discussion.
