Fact: The earth has been warming since the maximum of the past
glaciation.
(around 18000 years ago)
Hi Bill,
I was wondering if I could see a source for this claim. As far as I am
aware, it is incorrect.
Which fact do you want to know about, the maximum of the last glaciation
or
that the earth has been warming since?
"the earth has been warming since the maximum of the past glaciation
(around
18000 years ago)"
Please note that this is a very different statement than "the earth is now
warmer than it was 18000 years ago" and in this difference lies the
deception (feel free to provide evidence that I am incorrect at this
point).
My understanding is that the planet climbed out of the last glacial period
that was at its lowest temperature about 20-18000 yrs ago as you say. It
slowly climbed over the next ~8000 yrs into the current inter-glacial
period. Then from about 10,000yrs ago until about 150 yrs ago it remained
fairly stable, perhaps trending generally down a bit. This can not be
reasonably characterized as warming for 18,000 yrs.
My understanding is supported by the Volstok ice cores and all the latest
temperature reconstructions. A good one-stop shop for these studies is
he

I am happy to reevaluate my opinion if you can provide some reasonable
references that contradict it, I expect you would like to revise yours
after
reviewing the information I have provided.

Coby, I'm impressed
When I start discussing something I never know how much people know so I
throw a few curveballs to find out.
I wonder what is going to happen in 15 to 25 years when the North Atlantic
cycle shifts to fewer and weaker hurricanes.
Will AGW be ignored because so much was made of AGW at this point in the
North Atlantic cycle?
Will scientists be ignored because so much was made of AGW at this point in
the North Atlantic cycle?
Will scientists be ignored because of things like the idiot that calls
himself "grampa bush" running around like chicken little?
