From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
.
Nearly all the media have been peddling the “Hottest for 125,000 years” declare, which suggests a really concerted effort by the local weather institution within the run as much as COP28.
The declare is self evident and baseless nonsense for numerous good causes:
- There isn’t any such factor as “a world common temperature”
- Even now we now have very sparse protection of temperature measurements. Previous to satellites, we had nearly no information exterior of the US, Europe and some different constructed up areas
- The temperature document we do have is completely corrupted by UHI, and solely dates again to the late 19thC
- Pure variations, together with ENSO, volcanic exercise and many others, can simply trigger temperature swings of a level Celsius from yr to yr, and decade to decade. However historic proxies don’t have the advantageous decision to choose these up, they merely give an concept of common temperatures over many years and even centuries. Consequently you can’t examine one yr now with the final local weather of, say, 2000 years in the past.
However neglect about all of those theoretical objections, as a result of the climatic proof we do have is overwhelming, and it tells us that the local weather has been a lot hotter than now for a lot of the final 10000 years, for the reason that finish of the ice age.
Listed below are ten highly effective, incontrovertible items of proof:
1) Greenland
I agree completely we now have had a world temperature improve within the 20thC – however a rise from what? ..In all probability a rise from the bottom level within the final 10,000 years.
We began to look at meteorology on the coldest level within the final 10,000 years. – Professor Steffensen
As Professor Steffensen explains within the above video, temperatures in Greenland have been a lot greater than now for a lot of the final 8000 years.
2) Arctic
Briner et al 2016
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277379116300427
Many different research affirm that the temperature traits present in Greenland ice cores additionally exist elsewhere across the Arctic. As an illustration, Briner et al, above. analysed a wide array of proxies within the Canadian Arctic and Greenland, and recognized a protracted working decline in temperatures during the last 3000 years.
Additionally they discovered that the Greenland ice sheet has grown since since that point.
3) Russia
Summer time temperatures had been between 2.5 and seven.0C hotter 7000 years in the past in northern Russia:
Different research point out that temperatures in central Russia had been 2C greater within the late-Atlantic interval, about 5000 years in the past.
4) The Baltic Area
Temperatures had been between 1.0 and three.5C greater 4500 years in the past.

5) Iceland
In the course of the mid-Holocene, among the current day ice caps in Iceland had fully melted:

In the meantime, stays of a 3000-year outdated forest beneath melting Icelandic glaciers affirm the local weather was a lot hotter then:
Historical tree stumps discovered underneath Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Southeast Iceland are confirmed to be roughly 3,000 years outdated. RÚV experiences.
A specialist believes the remarkably well-preserved stumps had been a part of a large forest that disappeared after a protracted interval of a heat local weather.

6) Tree Line Research
Tree line research supply sturdy proof that temperatures within the White Mountains of California and the Alps had been 2 levels greater than now from 5000 BC to 2200 BC.
HH Lamb: Local weather Historical past & The Fashionable World
Lamb additionally writes about different tree line research encompassing the Alps, Carpathians, Rockies, Japan, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, East Africa and the Andes. These additionally present related outcomes, with a local weather that was 2C hotter round 5000 BC.
7) North America
There’s ample proof that Alaskan glaciers had been smaller than now within the Center Ages, simply confirmed by the stays of forests carbon dated again to then, that are being uncovered because the ice melts.
As an illustration, the Mendenhall:
There’s additionally proof that Alaskan glaciers had been smaller nonetheless previous to 2000 BC, and that a lot of the glaciers south of 57N had been solely fashioned after that point.
HH Lamb wrote:
The rise of world sea degree during the last 10 000 years, seen already in fig. 13.27, offers an general view of the course of deglaciation. It’s, nonetheless, a development which should have been lagged on the development of world temperature in such a manner that the best sea degree — which most likely occurred round 4000 years in the past — ought to coincide with the top of the interval of highest temperature, which decreased the glaciers and ice sheets to their postglacial minimal. It was after 2000–1500 B.c. that a lot of the current glaciers within the Rocky Mountains south of 57°n had been fashioned ( Matthes 1939) and that main readvance of these within the Alaskan Rockies first occurred.

8) European Alps
In the identical ebook, Lamb wrote:
And at their subsequent superior positions — most likely round 500 B.C. in addition to between A.D. 1650 and 1850 — the glaciers within the Alps regained an extent estimated within the Glockner area at about 5 instances their Bronze Age minimal, when all of the smaller ones had disappeared.
This conclusion is backed up by the current discovery of 4000 yr outdated bushes on the fringe of a Swiss glacier by the distinguished geologist Dr Christian Schlüchter.
Different analysis, together with the discovery of a Swiss cross, which has been lined by snow for 2000 years, and the publicity of extra historical bushes underneath the Tschierva Glacier in Engadin, in Switzerland, the place analysis means that within the time of the Roman Empire, glaciers had been smaller than at this time, and seven,000 years in the past they most likely weren’t round in any respect.
9) South America
Historical plant beds, radiocarbon dated to 5000 years in the past, are being uncovered because the Quelccaya glacier recedes within the Peruvian Andes, in response to glaciologist Lonnie Thompson, who additionally
analysed ice cores from one other glacier, the Huascarán within the north-central Andes of Peru, and located:
“ the local weather was warmest from 8400 to 5200 years earlier than current, and that it cooled step by step, culminating with the Little Ice Age (200 to 500 years earlier than current).”
Different analysis from the Missouri Botanical Backyard, which research tree traces within the Andes, got here to related conclusions:
In the course of the interval from 7500 yr BP to ca. 3000 yr BP temperatures rose about 2°C extra, inflicting one other upward shift within the forest line of about 300-400 m greater than at this time, and thereby decreasing the world occupied by páramo. Lastly, at about 2900 yr BP, there was a noticeable reducing of the temperature that marked the final downward motion of the forest and páramo belts to their present-day positions.
And as in Alaska, retreating glaciers in Patagonia have been uncovering the stays of forests, that are carbon dated to the late Center Ages.
10) New Zealand
https://niwa.co.nz/our-science/local weather/information-and-resources/clivar/pastclimate
Reconstruction of New Zealand’s previous local weather by NIWA, utilizing all kinds of proxies,
point out a hotter local weather than now till about 3000 years in the past.
NIWA remark:
The warmest circumstances of the current cycle occurred between 10,000 and 6,000 B.P with temperatures about 1°C above fashionable values. This hotter local weather was delicate, with mild winds and luxurious forests. Speleothems point out a reducing of temperature after 7,000 B.P, with a resurgence of small glacial occasions within the Southern Alps at 5,000 B.P.
Similarities between the New Zealand local weather adjustments over the past millennium utilizing tree rings (Cook dinner et al., 2002) has been in comparison with the Northern Hemisphere Medieval Heat Interval and Little Ice Age (Lamb, 1965).
Extra direct proof comes from the Franz Joseph glacier. Historian Brian Fagan described the adjustments of this glacier in his ebook “The Little Ice Age”:
In New Zealand the Franz Joseph glacier was “a mere pocket of ice on a frozen snowfield 9 centuries in the past”…. Then Little Ice Age cooling started and the glacier thrust downslope into the valley under smashing into the good rain forests that flourished there, felling large bushes like matchsticks. By the early 18th Century, Franz Joseph’s face was inside 3 km of the Pacific Ocean .
The excessive tide of glacial advance at Franz Joseph got here between the late seventeenth Century and early nineteenth Century, simply because it did within the European Alps.
This doesn’t straight relate to the early and mid Holocene, however is robust proof of the LIA and the MWP, which NIWA say was not as heat 3000 years earlier than.
The World Was Hotter
Let’s be completely clear.
These occasions weren’t “regional” or “transitory”, as Holocene Optimum deniers would love you to consider.
Giant scale retreats and advances of glaciers don’t occur on account of just a few years of climate. Neither do advances of tree traces lots of of toes up mountainsides. The proof from these occasions and the likes of ice cores is irrefutable and clearcut.
It’s nicely established from these research that the Holocene Optimum lasted for hundreds of years, throughout which era there would have been the identical form of climatic cycles we see at this time, whether or not quick time period occasions comparable to El Nino, or centuries lengthy ones just like the LIA, all bringing hotter and colder intervals. However all through, the general local weather was nonetheless hotter than the present one.
And it’s equally obvious that this hotter local weather was worldwide. Even the place there are not any proxies, there may be nonetheless proof in locations just like the Sahara, the place the plush local weather there just a few hundreds of years in the past is indicative of an enlargement of the Tropics ensuing from a hotter world.
Anyone who claims that this yr is the most popular for 125,000 years is fraudulent.
