Medieval Warm Period Project
Project Overview
<HR align=left width="100%" color=#260146 SIZE=3>What is it?
Our Medieval Warm Period Project is an ongoing effort to document the magnitude and spatial and temporal extent of a significant period of warmth that occurred approximately one thousand years ago. Its goal is to ultimately provide sufficient real-world evidence to convince most rational people that the Medieval Warm Period was: (1) global in extent, (2) at least as warm as, but likely even warmer than, the Current Warm Period, and (3) of a duration significantly longer than that of the Current Warm Period to date.
Why is it?
The project's reason for being begins with the claim of many scientists - and essentially all of the world's radical environmentalists - that earth's near-surface air temperature over the last two decades of the 20th century (and continuing to the present) was higher than it has been during any similar period of the past millennium or more. This claim is of utmost importance to these climate alarmists; for it allows them to further claim there is something unnatural about recent and possibly ongoing warming, which allows them to claim that the warming has its origins in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, which allows them to claim that if humanity will abandon the burning of fossil fuels, we can slow and ultimately stop the warming of the modern era and thereby save the planet's fragile ecosystems from being destroyed by catastrophic climate changes that they claim will otherwise drive a goodly percentage of earth's plants and animals to extinction. Believing all of these claims to be false, we felt that disproving the first of them was the best way of refuting all the rest, or at least making them moot. The course of action we therefore take in this endeavor is to demonstrate that approximately one thousand years ago, when the atmosphere's CO2 concentration was approximately 25% lower than it is currently, earth's near-surface air temperature was equally as warm as, or even warmer than, it is today, demonstrating that today's temperatures are not unnatural and need not be due to the historical rise in the air's CO2 content. Indeed, these and other data covering a much longer timespan suggest that a more logical cause of our present warmth is the recurrence of whatever cyclical phenomenon produced the higher temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period.

This a reasonable response to the absurd "Hockey Stick" claims.
Claims that have already been debunked.
Now it is time to drill the nails in the "coffin".End this fraud that is the Hockey Stick and go back to real and honest science.
One that a half wit would realize must be backed up by ALL the data that supposedly supports the papers conclusion and.......... BE WILLING TO GIVE ALL THE DATA TO ANYONE WANTING TO CHECK THE PAPER.
Dr.Mann never has been open to sharing the data with people who want to ahem ...... provide PEER REVIEW to the Hockey stick claims.
After all the IPCC's unusually for them quick acceptance of a paper that basically claims that DECADES of climate research saying that the little ice age and the Medieval optimism was negligible.
That was for me the first sign that I thought the paper was wrong.It contradicted so many papers presented over the years by several fields of science(Geology,Archeology,Astronomy) and historians too.
How is that obvious and reasonable observation be so bady missed?
Bias?
:hahaha:
