If you think the Earth is hot now, try wearing plate
armor in the Middle Ages. A Swedish study found that the planet was warmer in ancient
Roman times and the Middle Ages than today, challenging the mainstream idea
that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main drivers of global warming.
The study, by scientist Leif
Kullman, analyzed 455 “radiocarbon-dated mega-fossils” in the Scandes mountains
and found that tree lines for different species of trees were higher during the
Roman and Medieval times than they are today. Not only that, but the
temperatures were higher as well.......the temperature spikes were during
the Roman and Medieval warming periods “were succeeded by a distinct tree
line/temperature dip, broadly corresponding to the Little Ice Age.”...... there was an alleged scientific
consensus that the Earth was warming due to humans releasing greenhouse gases
into the air — primarily through burning fossil fuels. However, temperatures
stopped rising after 1998, leaving scientists scrambling to find an explanation
to the hiatus in warming.
Increasingly, scientists are looking away from human causes and looking at
solar activity and natural climate variability for explanations of why the
planet warms and cools.....To Read More....
