I disagree, ice ages occur like clockwork and we are overdue for one now....
and as for weather forecasts I agree they seem to be particularly wrong at the moment, at least here in western Canada where environment Canada are predicting a hot dry summer and so far its been cold and wet. 1,500 Years of Cooling in the Arctic: http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2008/02/04/1500-years-of-cooling-in-the-arctic/ [quote] âThe late-twentieth century is not exceptionally warm in the new Torneträsk record: On decadal-to-century timescales, periods around AD 750, 1000, 1400, and 1750 were all equally warm, or warmer. The warmest summers in this new reconstruction occur in a 200-year period centred on AD 1000. A âMedieval Warm Periodâ is supported by other paleoclimate evidence from northern Fennoscandia, although the new tree-ring evidence from Tornetraäsk suggests that this period was much warmer than previously recognised.â [/quote] >> RoMunn wrote: >> Are you serious?
