Forgotten Lessons from History
By Reg Whelan
How often do we find that the lessons from history are being ignored. I have been reading quite a bit about the history of our global temperatures. I am not going to go into reference materials and sources here. However if any one really wants to authenticate my sources I will be able to. In the last 5000 years there have been four recorded or researched warm periods. The Minoan Warm Period: 200 years around 375 BC The Roman Warm Period: 200 years around 175 BC The Medieval Warm Period: 200 years around 900 AD The Late 20th Century Warm Period: 200 years around 1950 AD There is ample geological evidence and research that shows that these periods existed. During the Mediaeval Warm Period, around or shortly before 1200 AD, evidence suggests that the Vikings colonized Greenland. They appear to have abandoned Iceland and Greenland around 1400 AD as global temperatures fell. It may have been the cold or even the icing over of the main sea trading routes that resulted in their abandoning Greenland and Iceland. Shortly before 1400 AD, the last Little Ice Age commenced. It lasted to about 1910 AD From around 1650 AD to 1820 AD The River Thames Froze over. The Freezing of the River was celebrated with a Winter Carnival. It was during this period that Charles Dickens popularized the romance of the Old Fashioned White Christmas. The unusually cold summer of 1816, the year without a summer, forced Mary Shelley to spend her summer indoors. She and her husband entertained each other with horror stories, one of which resulted in her writing the novel Frankenstein. The interesting thing about the four warm periods is that the current warm period has been the coolest of the four with a tapered cooling of the warm periods from the Mincan to the current warm period. The current global temperatures indicate that the peak high temperature for the current warm period has already passed. It looks like the lessons of our history have been overlooked with the current global warming predictions and scaremongering. It appears to me and a great number of the scientific community that the lessons of history form "An Inconvenient Truth" about the politics of "An Inconvenient Truth". The current weather extremes in the northern Hemisphere would seem to be heralding the advance of the next little ice age. Reg Whelan

Very thought-provoking intel - thanks!
Reminds me of the quote by Friedrich Hegel: "The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn from history".

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Only too true.
Reg
What you say is indeed what many scientists are saying. That is the "Inconvenient Truth" facing the global warming alarmists and politicians. But politicians are politicians, aren't they?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Thanks for your support.
Reg
Ah hes. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
If things don't change they will remain as they are. 
WOW, great research,well written and great information.
Thank you for sharing, Reg.
Best to you.
Frederick
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
As always Frederick thanks for your reply.
Reg
Very interesting Intel, keep up the good work!
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Thanks
I assume you are saying that the current policies of the government to police emissions have a nefarious motive. I suppose there could be some huge profits for some in the business of selling carbon credits.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
I believe that Carbon Dioxide is not responsible for global warming. I believe that the damage to the Earth from other emissions, while not responsible for global warming, which doesn't exist, is responsible for untold damage to the human development. I Believe that something needs to be done about stopping the pollution and cleaning up residual pollution. A massive CET may be useful. This is something that needs to be paid for by the pollutants. However I also recognize that our adoption of massive consumerism places some of the responsibility with the consumers as well. The world is running out of habitat so maybe the Tax and tree replacement will partially address that problem.

I think the lesson learned is that too often scientists come to the conclusions that they are paid to come to. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham Lincoln
