Climate alarmists are given to declaring that a recent year or few years were the "hottest ever." But to do so they must downplay or dismiss episodes like the Medieval Warm Period, Roman Warm Period or Holocene Climatic Optimum (to say nothing of conditions before the Pleistocene Ice Age) because they don't just show that climate fluctuates naturally. They show that even since the end of the last...

Looking At The Sun 10.06.2022
