Evidence Mounts that the Earth’s Current Temperature Is Not Unusual
By H. Sterling Burnett
Even most climate alarmists begrudgingly acknowledge the Earth has experienced warmer periods than at present, such as, but not exclusive to, the age of reptiles and dinosaurs. Contrary to the “world will end†disaster claims made by climate alarmist politicians, progressive activists, and academic and corporate crony profiteers, life was fecund during these periods, with a tremendous variety of plants and animal species thriving.
Leaving ancient history behind, research has also repeatedly shown numerous periods during the present interglacial have been as warm as or warmer than it is at present. These warmer periods contributed to the rise of agricultural societies and human civilizations with large permanent settlements (which have recently morphed into megalopolises) and modern nation-states. Proxy data from tree rings, shell middens, pollen trapped in peat, fossilized remains, and oral and written historical records all show not only that global temperatures have been as warm as or warmer than today, but also that all of these warm periods have been a boon for life, including the expansion of human communities.
More evidence for relatively recent warm periods in history has recently been found in frozen Antarctica, of all places, and in Norway, on opposite sides of the globe. Scientists doing research in Antarctica report they have discovered perfectly preserved, 800-year-old penguin remains exposed by a patch of melting ice along the Antarctic coast.
