2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved

And 1200 years ago it was significantly warmer than it is today and recent Geological studies indicate that was a world wide impact not just a European affair as they were growing grapes in northern German and grapevines grew wild as far north as Nova scotia hence the term Vinland. And sea levels if anything were slightly lower. CO2 isn't the prime mover or even a close second. We don't have enough extra CO2 in the air to explain The more than doubling of the human population since 1950 and the huge increase in the number of herd animals and attempts to explain that as with the trivial well living thiongs just stay in balance is freaking silly.

Once again, a lot of statements with absolutely no data. Here is what the National Academy of Sciences has to say;

Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years

From your own article:
In many parts of the world, the surface temperature record can be extended back several centuries by examining historical documents such as logbooks, journals, court records, and the dates of wine harvests. This evidence shows that several regions were relatively cool from about 1500 to 1850, a period sometimes referred to as the Little Ice Age. Historical evidence also suggests that Europe and East Asia, in particular, experienced periods of relative warmth during the medieval interval from roughly A.D. 900 to 1300. In contrast to the widespread warming of the 20th century, the timing of these earlier warm episodes appears to have varied from location to location, but the sparseness of data precludes certainty on this point.

The sparseness of data is a killer. Was the warming local? And if it occured at differant times in differant parts of the world, then it was hardly a worldwide warming. The data and comments on the data in the National Academy of Sciences is particularly revelant to this issue. Most data points to the present as being the warmest worldwide in the last 2000 years. However, it is not just the absolute temperature, but also the speed of the increase that is also very relevant. Not only that, the reactions worldwide, glaciers, permafrost, icecaps, seems to be far more extreme than at any time in at least the last 8000 years.

The next five years are going to be very interesting. Now this is my own predictions, not any body elses. We will see a major El Nino, more than likely with temperatures exceeding those of 1998. At least two years will have North Polar Ice minimums less than that of 2007, possibly three or four. We will see far more outgassing of clathrates on the northern continetal shelves of North America, Europe, and Asia. The sea level rise will continue to accelerate, far beyond that predicted by the IPCC. We will see far more activiety on the Antarctic Ice shelves, and the continent itself will continue to shed ice. The Greenland Icecap will accelerate it's melting. And the weather swings will continue to be wilder and wider than they have been, with an overall warming.
