The prestigious Nature Journal recently published a major climate change study named Orbital Forcing Of Tree-Ring Data that proves through analysis of over 2000 years of tree ring evidence that current climate models substantially underestimated ancient Northern Europe temperatures levels during the Roman and Medieval Periods. The fact that temperatures have trended down for the last two centuries debunks theories that anthropogenic (man-made) global-warming is caused by a rising CO2 gas levels associated with industrial burning of “fossil fuels.”

Researchers from Germany,
Finland, Scotland, and Switzerland examined tree-ring density profiles in trees
from Finnish Lapland. In this extremely cold environment, trees often
collapse into one of the numerous lakes, where they remain well preserved for
thousands of years. The international team was able to conduct high
reliability calculations of tree ring density from the cold water preserved
Scandinavian pine trees, which correlate very closely with annual summer
temperature patterns.
The United
Nations’ endorsed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for interpreting studies of ice cores
and ocean sediments to “conclude” that Europe was about to suffer catastrophic
anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. But
new Tree Ring Data allows precise measurements of annual climate
variability. The results reveal there has been a cooling trend of
-0.3°C (0.54°F) per millennia (1000 year periods) “due to gradual
changes to the position of the sun and an increase in the distance between the
Earth and the sun.” The high-resolution graph shown above
demonstrates that temperatures ancient periods were much warmer than predicted
by IPCC. The study also documents the extreme temperature phases that
occurred during Europe’s “Little Ice Age” that resulted in a general cooling
trend between the 1150 and 1460 AD and extremely cold climate between 1560 and
1850 AD. According to lead researcher Jan Esper:
“We found that
previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the
Middle Ages were too low” … “Such findings are also significant with regard to
climate policy, as they will influence the way today’s climate changes are seen
in context of historical warm periods.”
The results are a huge
embarrassment to IPCC, which has acknowledged it did not carry out its own
original research to monitor climate and related phenomena. But their
extrapolated conclusions regarding a recent warming trend served as
justification for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
to demand Western industrialized nations implement the job killing Kyoto Protocol treaty
to achieve “stabilization of greenhouse
gas concentrations in the atmosphere at
a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic
interference with the climate system.”
In a direct broadside against
global-warming doomsday alarmists, Esper noted:
The Tree Ring study proves the
recent warming trend we are experiencing is not exceptional, because
temperatures have been exceeded for at least two periods over the last 2000
years. Paleoclimatologists describe
the warming of the earth over the last 12,000 years as theHolocene inter-glacial of
the current Ice Age. The prior Eemian interglacial period, which began 130,000 years
ago and ended 114,000 years ago, was much warmer. Scandinavia was an
island, hippos swam in the Thames at the site of London, and the raised beaches
of Alaska & fossil reefs of the Bahamas were formed.
