Three things we do know about the MWP is that there were three crop rotations a year, vineyards thrived from Scotland to Cornwall, and the skeletons of the period indicate that even the very poorest people were eating exceptionally well in contrast to evidence from skeletons before and after that period. Historical records also state the poor were able to live comfortably outside in rough shelters and evidence of ancient houses that still stand today show us clues that it was a very warm period indeed. Well I not sure about the rest of the world, but certainly in Northern Europe the temperature was certainly significantly higher in the MWP than today for those factors to occur. Try growing vineyards in Scotland today or achieving three crop rotations per year and see how far you get.

So the shaded red zone could easily be twice as wide and include significant up and down swings. As far as the last 100 years nobody is arguing that temperatures haven’t gone up about a degree.

The Hockey stick graph shows two different kinds of data. There are modern thermometer readings with high accuracy, regular and frequent records and good geographical coverage. Then there are proxies which are the opposite. The proxy data is easy to find via PAGES12K (the metadata spreadsheet) and graphing up any dozen of the 1300 proxies will show huge variability even for the same places using similar methods. The graph you are shown is just lots of estimates added together. The likely +/- indicates a warm era like ours would be expected every few centuries. The IPCC best estimate for human warming is currently 1.07C. However the first 0.5C is just a return to normal after the Little Ice Age. So we are all supposed to panic over 0.6C above normal after 150 years. The obvious conclusion is that we are having a small effect on something that isn't that big in the first place. It might be a problem if we don't change for a few centuries but there is no reason to assume any crisis is going to happen.

In contrast the theories of climate change deniers, which dont explain this occurence at all, it has managed to connect results from a vast amount of different research areas (such as mentioned in this video) while persisting. Secondly you can very much see human impact from a plane, such as the shaping of land into parcells. Thirdly, influence doesnt translate into control by default. Just because you can have an effect on something doesnt mean you have a way to turn it into a tool for your own use. But projects are working on WEATHER control (not CLIMATE), that i can assure you off. No proof cause really you google weather manipulation research and you find something Finally, do you believe factory and car exhaust fumes just vanish into non existence? Habe you ever fancied taking a good sniff from your exhaust pipe? No? Well, perhaps that is because it is indeed a form of so called pollution which is harmful to our species and others. But sure its easier to ignore reality when it doesnt suit us, so we can comfort ourselves into keeping our established habits, avoiding burdening our conscience. Blame it on a scheme and off the hook you are.

Unlike the claim by Gore, CO2 follows temp, not the other way around. It is really simple to prove, right in your kitchen.

There is one "proxy" type that apparently was ignored. These are "far field" measures of sea level change. Such measures are direct measures of change in sea level in locations that are geologically stable and located remotely from any regions subject to processes like isostatic rebound. These far field measures demonstrate that sea level was around 1.5 meters higher during the early Holocene, right when that warmest "hump" was mapped. These measure are located around the globe and are in very good agreement. The sea level may or may not be an actual proxy for global temperatures, but it offers profound methodological problems to attempt to argue that it sometime is and sometimes isn't. One of the issues that you fail to mention about Mann's original hockey stick is that the near end of the stick the blade, is not "proxy" data. The "proxy" data turns downward, opposite to the direct temperature measurements, which are substituted for the proxy data in the blade area. That is the kind of poor practice that called Mann et al.'s conclusions into question. The weakness of Bayesian statistics is its very strength. The method attempts to use available knowledge to more accurately make as statistical assessment. Needless to say, if the knowledge is mistaken in some fashion, then the analysis suffers from classical GIGO problems. More over if say historical accounts of weather and crop issues are ignored in favor of proxies where they appear to contradict what you believe the proxy to be telling you, then not all available knowledge is used. More to the point, uncertainty of the understanding of the proxy behaviour may not be incorporated. Caution always is called for when someone says, "I told you so." That indicates a potential of expectation bias.

I'm an undergrad math student but I haven't taken any stats courses yet. Take what I say with a grain of salt. While we would see major fluctuations with more constant and steady measurements, we would not see these fluctuations occurring only in the same direction. Using your example, we would see that we would get spikes during the day time specifically during the afternoon when it is hottest but we would also see valleys during the night when it is coolest. These, of course, would not be detected by the weather service data (if you only use daily averages) and thus the weather service data would result in the "stick" in the hockey stick. However, measuring by the hour would result in data with peaks and valleys around midday and midnight respectively. This would not result in a hockey stick shape but rather just a more spiky/sporadic straight line. The only way we get a hockey stick shape (without the average daily temperature increasing) is if you only measured using your thermometer from the start of the day until it reaches peak temperature for only 1 day. Of course, this is bad form and is very similar to just cherry picking data as well as suffering from a small sample size (only 1 day). Now, I haven't read the study from which the hockey stick graph comes from, but I don't think it would've gotten published or received all the attention it received from the scientific community if it was using cherry picked data.

The original "hockey stick" is irrelevant now, as it has been independently corroborated so many times by other teams using better statistical methods, more evidence, and higher resolution. They did it better than Bradley, Mann, and Hughes, in an attempt to bust them, and corroborated the findings instead over and over between 1998 and today. That's why MBH1998 is superseded. It wouldn't even matter if Mann done the things the oil industry shills accuse him of, since the corroborators don't rely on his work. The hockey stick shape of the Holocene temperature record is one of the most thoroughly corroborated findings in science.

Modern cities are giant heat sinks, a giant concrete pad with tall mirrored reflective buildings focusing the heat into the concrete. In order to affect climate change we need to dismantle the largest cities and remove the majority of the roads. Removing the roads will increase ground water retention which would reduce ground temperature. This is my personal theory and has been for at least a decade. If the governments of this world truly wanted to solve climate change they would switch from Keynesian accounting to Austrian accounting and eliminate the constant need for growth that the inherit 3 0/0 inflation of Keynesian economics forces upon us. The governments don't care about anything but their power and control over us.

One of the reasons why so many people still doubt anthropogenic climate change.

We also have data from time of first flowers in spring for hundreds of years, and glaciers melting faster and faster.

Something that is overlooked is that life, from plants to fungi to mammals, have an easier and more successful time adapting to warmer climate than to cooler climate. In simple terms, it’s easier to dissipate heat through already existing systems, like sweat pores, than to develop new warmth retaining mechanisms, like humans or birds developing blubber layers. Warming isn’t the end. Or rather, it’s mot as certainly the end as a drop in temperature would be. For a real world, real time evidentiary example, compare Texas heatwaves to that cold snap they had. You barely hear about their heatwaves. They’re easy to adapt to, even months long or multi-year lengths. Imagine in contrast if that cold snap they had lasted 18 months. 2C warmer is better than 2C colder. And a sudden and decades lasting 3C-6C drop from a single sizable volcanic eruption could happen in any given year. That eruption is coming. A mild 2C raise now will offset the drop, and will be less catastrophic and more survivable for every creature everywhere. This forward looking plan is not discussed, as people are focused on immediate effect, and not accounting for unavoidable eventual factors. We can plan for that drop, and maybe cut it in half, there y saving 60-70% of the global population from freezing to death. No one wants to listen to rational minds, and consider the elephant in the room. They’re too caught up in hysterics of rising temps. The real threat is the floor being pulled out from under us, and our unintentional exacerbation of that.

Good post. As for your Texas example the reason you don't hear about their heat waves (In my onion) is it is expected. Right now we are hearing about how cold Fla is. Yet people are not talking about the temperature here in Western NY. That's to be expected. Is there climate change going on? I honestly don't know. I don't know your age but I'm old enough I was around during the 70's and 80's when we were warned that a new ice age was coming. Then we get warned the planet is heating up, global warming was coming. Then we get told that global warming will trigger an Ice age. Then they change it to climate change so no matter what happens they can say they were right, the climate changed. The other thing they do is when we have heat waves they say that it's proof of warming. But if we point out the especially cold winter we just had they say that's weather not climate. You can't have it both way. Is the weather different from when I was a kid. I can say yes. In the 60's and 70's I was playing in the snow at Thanksgiving and we always had a white Christmas. The first day of deer season had snow. Now there are many times when we don't have snow for those times. The funny thing is they started talking about Warming not long after they had warned of the Ice age. So why am I doubter? It's because of what I have seen over the years. I'm not a denier, it's possible. I'm just doubting what is being brought forward. I know I am a boomer, but I enjoy being called that. Why?

This would be a part of the Climate Gate video, so I am hoping that Simon will be bringing this up. But as someone familiar with the science and those specific studies I'll comment on this. Direct temperature measurements are really accurate, right? We have been using them reliably pretty much from their inventions. Whenever we use alternate measurement methods they are always calibrated using direct methods, as is the case with tree ring proxies as well. So if at first direct measurement and tree-ring measurements (note that a lot more than just tree-rings were used as proxies, it is only one of the methods that were used) start to diverge, what do we do? Before the divergence the tree ring data agreed with direct measurements AND other proxies, after 1960 it went completely it's own way. So we are forced to conclude that something changed past 1960 that altered the way trees behaved during their growth seasons, causing them to skip sometimes even several growth seasons in certain areas. The most likely candidate for this is the heavy amount of aerosols that our industry used to push into the atmosphere before those emissions were curbed. Relevant studies for this: Briffa et al. 1998, MBH 1999, D'Arrigo et al. 2008.

And note that the tree-ring divergence problem really happens in arctic circle trees, not globally. So the proxy data would not have been representative of the modern warming and thus it was correct to not include it in a graph that is supposed to represent the changes in climate for past 2 thousand years. All the data and the reasons for the omission are all explained in the studies, so there is no secrecy behind it either. And your points about all the systematic and non-systematic errors on instrumental data are also something that have been thoroughly considered.

If we did not have the rest of the proxies available you would be right. It is the exact same thing with radiometric dating, if we only had one method of dating available we would not be able to use it, as it would be constantly giving us false dates. That is why we have converging evidence from multiple methods from which we can figure out the correct method and age range, and then we can pinpoint the actual age of the dated sample. So if you truly have a degree, I truly worry how poorly the philosophy of science is taught as part of that education.

When the raw data Briffa used was found and analyzed independently, some trees showed the temperature trend they were looking for, while other didn't. Instead of trying to figure out why, he just ignored the data that didn't support his predetermined conclusion.

Ross McKitrick, "Suboptimal Climate Fingerprinting," Journal of Climate Dynamics, Sept. 2021. 19 of 50 UN IPCC models show zero statistical significance of greenhouse gas induced climate change. The 19 of 50 debunk models were based on Allen & Tett's 1999 land mark paper, "Optimal Climate Fingerprinting," published in the Journal of Climate Dynamics and adopted as the gold standard in climate modelling by the UN IPCC in 2001. I have yet to see any paper on greenhouse gas induced climate warming that has a 4, 5, or 6-Sigma level of statistical certianty, or 90% confidence level or higher. Climate alarmist ignore known problems with recycling plastics, electronics, and batteries. In many cases what is recyclable in a responsible manner is not due to economics. Instead the waste becomes environmental and health hazards in emerging and third world countries. There is a lot of battery research that is promising for the future, but for the foreseable future battery production and disposal is looking like a future castrophic environmental tsunami.

Few question to consider: 1) Why proxy data is used only for the past, but not for the present? Why can't we use the same methods to "measure" the current global temperature? 2) Why is data of present global temperature is gathered from cities and airports? These places are typically way warmer than their surroundings? 3) Life was thriving under warm temperatures. Most of global extinctions happened during ice ages. Why should we be worried about climate becoming better?

Buddy, observations and data led the community to this conclusion... Otherwise it would have been disproven by idependent groups a long while ago... Your world view doesn't hold up, as you can't prove it. Stop with the lies buddy, you're buind pathetic.

You “forgot” to include a longer period graph. I put together a graph going back hundreds of thousands of years with public ice core data from NOAA and what we are seeing now is very stable in that context. I take the sudden spike to be a function of switching from extrapolated data to observed data with better resolution.

Your mango proxy was really a nice example. You could have added some error bars to show an example for statistical uncertainty as well.

So what caused the Medieval Warming period...that you acknowledge was real...unlike Mann who cut it out from his hockey stick graph

Look, the fact that we can more accurately know past temperatures is great. The gigantic leap of faith is that CO2 vs temperature are cause and effect. Many ice core data show temperature change followed by CO2 and even methane change. Another serious objection is the inference that man made climate change caused CO2 will lead to certain disaster. Although this study waived away the Roman Warm Period and Little Ice Age it remains a fact that the earth has seen temperatures much higher than any predicted temperature and CO2 way higher. Those periods saw verdant life on a scale we can scarcely imagine. Finally, over the last 25 years or so, the time global warming has been a fashionable thing, we have only seen minor temperature change and no adverse climate effects such as rising sea levels, human deaths caused by weather, human life spans, forest fires, drought, etc.. in fact, the trivial increase of CO2 is linked to increased plant growth causing the world to literally green and increased crop yields. Schemes to radically cut CO2 in an attempt regulate global temperatures are Ill conceived and will lead to mass human suffering. If you enjoy a modern lifestyle you need to wise up and challenge the anti-fossil fuel acolytes.

I would be interested to know how the proxies relate to seasonal effects? Most of the present "warming" comes in the form of milder winters rather than hotter summers. Taking the tree ring example: since trees are dormant in winter, it is hardly surprising that they would suggest a flatter historical annual average temperatures than was the case. And when you tack onto the artificially flattened historical proxy averages, temperatures taken from thermometers starting at the tail of the "little ice age" (a period of very harsh winters) - voila a hockey stick and no medieval warming! The settlement patterns (eg. Greenland) and changes in cultivation suggest the medieval warming was real.

@dovos8572

Жыл бұрын

like he said in the video. a proxie is often taken regionally and thus can show data that is a result of something else and not what you are trying to measure with it. "medieval" warming could be just a result of the warm sahara winds dominatingly going in direction of europe and pushing the cold north winds away. there is most of the time a almost 10°C difference in temperature between germany and italy or spain. if the winds blew for a long time from the south west to north east around the alps then it is possible that the climate was way warmer in europe than it is now because at the moment the north winds are dominatingly blowing from the north west onto europe and especially greenland, iceland and the UK (one of the reasons why it is raining so much in the UK). also don't forget that europe is really small compared to the global landmass, so having it go up a few °C for a few years/decades is not that much of a "global" event.

Strange example... Mangoes ripen and they ALL fall to the ground whether eaten by monkeys or not. Moreover, if there were variations, that would be a better proxy for how many mangos are harvested by humans and taken home to be eaten or sold.

(For example, a warmer climate is almost certainly going to be an increased-biomass world - albeit one with significant loss of genetic diversity. I appreciate that most people (myself included) would rather stick with what we've known during the entire history of our species since the end of the last glacial maximum, but a higher-biomass planet isn't exactly a catastrophic outcome...)

I must have missed something. Was proxy data validated with a new way of handling proxy data with credentials amounting to being 7 years in the processing? The end of the 25,000 year graph definitely had a vertical anomaly that has global warming possibilities but as a one step at a time person all it said to me was that what went before was indirect proxy temperature related data and what came after had direct temperature readings. In the 1960s met forecasters made serious judgements based on limited information,training and experience and the, now defunct, Bracknell met computer was being built. Now we are given a limited, but more reliable, choice of different computed models from a overload of data. It was towards the end of the 20th century that flights over the Atlantic stopped routinely passing met information in position reports and only did so as instructed to stop providing more data than was necessary. The biggest change to weather in the last 60 years is how humans can observe it. Adjectives like INCREDIBLE are for journalists not researchers who cannot live long enough to achieve results that will exclude inconvenient possibilities.

I can see why you'd think this, but a more accurate reading of temperature doesn't change the temperature you read, just the decimals after the point. And there WERE accurate ways of recording temperature in the past (see: trade ships in colonial times with thermometers travelling the world and recording temperature) It's just that the temperatures we are recording have gone up. According to your explanation we have somehow managed to significantly improve temperature recording methods, and at this trend, we can control global temperatures by getting better at recording them. If we want a colder Earth, just be less accurate? Unfortunately, like all things, it's not that simple. That "end of the graph anomaly" looks like an anomaly that should be ignored when you zoom out to a 25,000 year scale, but when you zoom in to ~500 years you see it's a massive, constant, accelerating rise that shows no signs of stopping and exactly follows greenhouse gas emissions. We also know that humans weren't really impacting emissions pre-indistrial revolution, due to the fact that the industrial machines hadn't even been invented yet, so they couldn't be making the emissions (since they didn't exist). Truth be told, I think your viewpoint is a good one to have that more people should use, but you also need to look closer if you want to apply it, and in this situation... You just can't. If you don't trust the dozens of credible temperature proxy recordings dating back thousands of years, you can say that, but the majority of the scientific community accepts that there is no better way to try and start recording an unrecorded past (apart from time travel, lol) Have a great day!

The temperatures constructed from 25000 years ago reply on deductions from what is believed to be the consequences of conditions that have ceased to exist. It shows overconfidence to believe that the graph starts and ends with the same kind of data just because it is labelled temperature. In 1966 the senior forecaster at an airfield with a 200 feet cloud base briefed the assembled aircrew that it would clear by 1000 hours. The user audience laughed where upon the forecaster pulled out a 10 bob note and called "any takers"; the result was silence. The cloud base was still 200 feet at 1700 hours. Instead of being ridiculed the next morning for his mistake, the forecaster got a round of applause when he started with "put your money where your mouth is". That forecaster had to manually predict the future from experience and raw data off teleprinters. Now he would tell us what the more accurate computer models expected. Ask a computer about 25000 years ago and you have to give it human processed material as sensors only operate in the here and now. Computing power is a great tool for extending thought but no substitute for the same. Judgement (not AI) is a valuable quality that is not demonstrated by those who work backwards to justify their dreams instead of exploring the possiblities to discover the likely realities.

The most accurate statement in this video is the fact that our scientific knowledge is always expanding. Unfortunately, many people, including scientists, are very resistant to new ideas that challenge widely accepted views. Just as the hockey stick graph has adjusted and fine tuned, other discoveries have been made. We have learned that climate is a very complex subject. We constantly discover new variables that have an effect on climate. You can never say that any theory is carved in stone.

Question: I might have missed it in Clark’s video, but since the proxy data seems to be of prime importance, to what extent in time does this data exist? Is every set of proxy data valid over the same time period? If not, then what happened is that the hockey stick was assembled by merely stitching smaller data sets together to create data over a longer time extent. I suspect that is not a valid way of creating anything meaningful. Now, if each proxy dataset extended over the same time period, and they all had the same character (peaks and valleys in the same locations), I could see that this might be meaningful. Otherwise, stitching together proxies is invalid, IMHO.

Look up “Solar Cycle: and “Introduction to Solar Radiation”. Also look up “Ask NASA Climate - Flip Flop: Why Variations in Earth's Magnetic Field Aren't Causing Today's Climate Change”. Good source for laymen, but other sources are available. As for papers, there isn’t much out there about the lack of correlation between completely unrelated things like solar flares and climate change, as the effects from solar flares last for less than a day and are one time events. Climate change requires a forcing, and for an event that lasts less than a day to cause climate change, one humungous forcing like a giant meteor strike or a volcanic eruption bigger than any in human history would be required. Note that on scales from minutes to hundreds of thousands of years, total solar irradiance is practically constant; that its tiny variation on an eleven year period (one part in a thousand from the mean) correlates with no climate or weather trend; only short term changes in the atmosphere. "The value of the constant is approximately 1.366 kilowatts per square metre. The “constant” is fairly constant, increasing by only 0.2 percent at the peak of each 11-year solar cycle. Sunspots block out the light and reduce the emission by a few tenths of a percent, but bright spots, called plages, that are associated with solar activity are more extensive and longer lived, so their brightness compensates for the darkness of the sunspots".

Whether a projected climate change graph shows a "hockey stick" or not just depends on the length of time it covers. If we make it stretch from hundreds of years ago to what is fairly confidently projected as likely a few decades into the future it'll show a sudden upturn (ie, "hockey stick").

Back in 1954, a freelance writer with a firm grasp of statistics wrote a classic little book called "How to Lie with Statistics." It is still in print and useful way for non-statisticians to see the fallacies in charts, graphs, and statistical sampling. The book has been updated and reprinted regularly and is still used in classrooms in conjunction with the study of logic. It should be required reading in every school, along with a course in basic logic and common fallacies. In this video, we have a chart purporting to show a deviation from the mean temperature of the last 24,000 years. In a recent PBS video, climate scientists used ice cores to construct a similar "hockey stick" chart reflecting the average temperatures over the last 800,000 years. The problem with both studies is inadequate sampling -- a period of time was chosen that produces the desired political result -- the "hockey stick." But if the sampling of Earth's temperature is extended back in time to encompass a much larger period of time -- say, 65 million years -- the chart would include long periods that were much warmer and much colder than the present, and the "hockey stick" would be only one of many spikes in the chart, and an average spike at that. In fact, we are still in the middle of the last Ice Age, since we have ice caps at both poles. But in the course of Earth's long history, the poles have completely melted multiple times. Between 100 million and 40 millions years ago, dinosaurs roamed over subtropical Antarctica and beast resembling crocodiles lived at the North Pole. People weren't around then to cause "climate change." The Earth's average temperature naturally fluctuates over geologic periods of time. During the late Pleistocene (about 14.8 to 12.9 thousand years ago), for example, there was at severe drought in several parts of the world, inclding southern California. There weren't enough people on Earth to cause that climate event, either. Humans may be contributing to global warming, but it is only one factor among many others affecting climate. I have yet to see any credible study that proves that reducing human carbon emissions to zero would cool the planet very much. Meanwhile, we are ignoring real environmental problems we must address: improving our sewage treatment facilities, removing plastics from the oceans and rivers, reducing physical waste, removing harmful chemicals from the water and land, and using water more efficiently -- just to list a few. We all have an interest in protecting our environment, but the discussion must begin with a consensus on the facts rather than skewed scientific studies like this one.

"In fact, we are still in the middle of the last Ice Age''. Yes, but the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880, and that two-thirds of this warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade, which is a rate warming 10x that of the gradual warming that ended the last glacial period.

I'm less concerned about confirming some modest rise of "global average" temperature {where does one stick a thermometer to make such a measurement?} than I am about the claimed consequences of this rise, & the changes we humans "must" make to prevent it. The alarmists would have us risk starving billions of our fellow humans by prematurely depriving them of, for instance, diesel fuel for their tractors to plow their fields & grow their foods. Where is the balanced comparative study of good vs bad consequences? I highly recommend reading Alex Epstein's book "Fossil Future" for a thoughtful analysis of these matters.

I don't get your point. Your final] graph shows warming of about 1.2°C over the last 150 years, which is not in dispute. However your claim about the Medieval Warm Period is very much in dispute. Signs of it have been found in the southern hemisphere even Antarctica, where it appears to have been less marked than in the northern hemisphere but still present. There are also many other studies which have found good reason to question how much greenhouse gases have contributed to temperature rise. The GMT during the Holocene optimum is also in question and may have been between 2 and 3°C warmer than today, which if true means today's GMT is not unprecedented. It all amounts to which proxies you want to trust and which to discard. Remember, science is never settled, and if you claim it is, that is not science.

Tree ring width is more related to moisture than temperature. So wider rings may mean more rain not higher temps. In fact higher temps could result in thinner rings.

@tobindax430

Not exactly. There are several causes for tree rings to widen; moisture and temperature. In dry climates the rings are mostly affected by moisture but in temperate climates (most of the north and southern hemispheres) they are affected by temperature mostly.

A single paper, especially one using very sophisticated modeling, should always be taken with a grain of salt. There's a large potential for error of all sorts creeping in. The overall conclusion is supported by a very robust body of research, but I wouldn't be that confident about the specific details, especially regarding the deep past.

Totally correct. Reinforced by this paper showing the error propagation over time is so enormous as to make these projections meaningless. Reliability of general circulation climate model (GCM) global air temperature projections is evaluated for the first time, by way of propagation of model calibration error. An extensive series of demonstrations show that GCM air temperature projections are just linear extrapolations of fractional greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing. Linear projections are subject to linear propagation of error. A directly relevant GCM calibration metric is the annual average ±12.1% error in global annual average cloud fraction produced within CMIP5 climate models. This error is strongly pair-wise correlated across models, implying a source in deficient theory. The resulting long-wave cloud forcing (LWCF) error introduces an annual average ±4 Wm-2 uncertainty into the“The simulated tropospheric thermal energy flux. This annual ±4 Wm-2 simulation uncertainty is ±114 × larger than the annual average ∼0.035 Wm-2 change in tropospheric thermal energy flux produced by increasing GHG forcing since 1979. Tropospheric thermal energy flux is the determinant of global air temperature. Uncertainty in simulated tropospheric thermal energy flux imposes uncertainty on projected air temperature. Propagation of LWCF thermal energy flux error through the historically relevant 1988 projections of GISS Model II scenarios A, B, and C, the IPCC SRES scenarios CCC, B1, A1B, and A2, and the RCP scenarios of the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, uncovers a ±15 C uncertainty in air temperature at the end of a centennial-scale projection. Analogously large but previously unrecognized uncertainties must therefore exist in all the past and present air temperature projections and hindcasts of even advanced climate models. The unavoidable conclusion is that an anthropogenic air temperature signal cannot have been, nor presently can be, evidenced in climate observables.” www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feart.2019.00223/full#B97

What about the Roman Warm Period? I believe the RWP was even warmer than present day temperatures. Using tree rings to determine global temperatures is ridiculous. Drought years are small, wet years are bigger. Once while cutting firewood on my property, I counted back on the tree rings to the winter of 1968-69 - it was very big because that was an extremely wet year - and it was a cooler than usual winter. And good luck finding trees going back to the RWP.

@@lrvogt1257 From what I’ve read the RWP was more global than the MWP. Both periods had temperatures as warm or warmer for periods of time. The main takeaway with climate science is the constant, often erratic, change - even when humans can’t be blamed. The Russian and Japanese climate models are reaching far different conclusions than the models our government is using. The fact that trillions of dollars are at stake with this climate warming issue and the fact that our present government is corrupt to the bone makes me wish I could find another planet. The fewer humans, the better.

The faith to believe a scientist who knows the temperature 20,000 years ago is mind boggling. Scientist allow themselves a 1’C accuracy for the last 50 years.

I have what may seem to be a dumb question. The planet has been warming pretty steadily for the past 10,000 years, which makes sense because there was an ice age 10K years ago. My question is, what caused all that warming? Clearly it wasn't mankind, so it had to be natural, yet some say that all the warming for the past 100 years is all our fault. I think that's what puts many people off, this notion that we're responsible for global warming when there is clear evidence of naturally occurring warming for thousands of years.

Your premise is wrong. The warm peak of this inter-glacial was 6,000 years ago and we've been slowly cooling since until the industrial revolution which has increased CO2 by half and caused temperatures to rise rapidly. The glacial cycles are caused by regular variations in Earth's orbit known as Milankovitch Cycles. As Earth gets nearer the sun there is a slight warming which releases more CO2 which increases water vapor which increases warming in a feedback loop. When Earth moves away again the process is reversed and the glaciers spread. This is a very slow process. This industrial global warming is 10 times faster than normal inter-glacial warming.

@@burnoutadvice8207 Currently, water vapor has the largest greenhouse effect in the Earth’s atmosphere. However, other greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, are necessary to sustain the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere. Indeed, if these other gases were removed from the atmosphere, its temperature would drop sufficiently to induce a decrease of water vapor, leading to a runaway drop of the greenhouse effect that would plunge the Earth into a frozen state. So greenhouse gases other than water vapor provide the temperature structure that sustains current levels of atmospheric water vapor. Therefore, CO2 is the main anthropogenic control knob on climate.
