In early September, the scientific community reported two seemingly contradictory facts. Since both of them provide additional corroboration of the existence and acceleration of global warming, I’d like to take a moment to explain their relationship.
First, Farmer’s Almanac predicted an exceptionally cold winter in North America. If the globe truly is warming, how can winters be cooling? In the interest of not repeating myself, I refer you to the explanation I gave back in March.
Simply put, the emphasis must fall on the word global in global warming.
The second scientific fact was the result of extensive research on the history of the Arctic region. It is the warmest it has been in two millennia, including the great cooling of the Middle Ages. For some time, skeptics of global warming have pointed to the great cooling of the Middle Ages as proof that global warming is a hoax. Thanks to this new research on the Arctic region, we know that the two patterns can follow their own trend line and one does not contradict the other.
For proof, I commend to your attention the graphic below. As of September, 2009, no credible skeptic of global warming has any scientific support.
