Nasa: Earth is warming at a pace 'unprecedented in 1,000 years'
Nasa said that records of temperature that go back far further, taken via analysis of ice cores and sediments, suggest that the warming of recent decades is out of step with any period over the past millennium.
This is a prime example of how you have been duped...and clear evidence that you have never taken the time to actually look anything up for yourself. Laziness or are you just not bright enough to do it?
Why do you suppose they chose to only go back 1000 years? Any idea? Since they talk about taking their evidence from ice cores, (which are the gold standard for temperature reconstruction) lets look at ice cores...
Here is the GISP2 ice core...taken from Greenland above the Arctic Circle. One of the more important ice core reconstructions ever done.
Now does the reason they chose to claim that the temperatures we are seeing today are unprecedented in the past 1000 years? In case you have a hard time with graphs like so many warmers do, let me help you out. if you go back 1000 years on that chart, you will see that it meshes nicely with the end of the Medieval Warm Period...from that point the earth started cooling down to the low temperatures of the little ice age at which point, it started warming again and has been warming ever since. Of course, we aren't up to the highs that they enjoyed during the medieval warm period and all the previous warm periods before that, but maybe we will get there. Those were, after all the balmy temperatures that ushered in the rise of human civilization.
They chose 1000 years because they figured that the lemmings who supported them would lack the intellectual wattage required to look any further back and see that they had been duped. They had these ice cores and deliberately chose 1000 years in order to misguide you into thinking that the climate we are seeing is somehow grossly unusual. Had they shown the entire 10,000 year reconstruction that the ice core provided, there would have been no "drama" possible and people would have rightly laughed them out of business.
As you can see from this graph, if you can, in fact, read a graph, it clearly shows that most of the past 10,000 years have been warmer than the present, In addition it shows temperatures dropping and rising at rates far faster, and for longer periods than anything we have ever seen. As you can see, natural variability is a wild ride..and that is why I say that there is no observed, measured data which supports the man made climate change hypothesis over natural variability because we aren't even close to the limits of natural variability...and if you go back more than 10,000 years, way back to the time when temperatures started dropping into the ice age that we are still in, you will see temperatures so high, that no ice existed at either pole...and during those times, the whole earth was green and life flourished everywhere. Most of the species we know came into being during that time.
Face it guy...you have been duped. Right there is undeniable evidence that they set out to deliberately trick you..and the trick succeeded in spades. Now the $64,000.00 question is.....do you intend to remain tricked?
My bet is yes. You are to emotionally invested in the scam to ever allow something like evidence that you were tricked change your mind.
