World was much warmer in Roman and Medieval times than it is now

A study of semi-fossilised trees has proven that world climate was warmer in Roman and Medieval times than it is in the modern industrial age.

German researchers used data from tree rings - a key indicator of past climate - to claim the world has been on a 'long-term cooling trend' for two millennia until the global warming of the twentieth century. 

Oops! How did that bit of Heat Naziism get in there? Oh, right. How silly of me.

This cooling was punctuated by a couple of warm spells.

These are the Medieval Warm Period, which is well known, but also a period during the toga-wearing Roman times when temperatures were apparently 1 deg C warmer than now.

They say climate scientists have underestimated the very warm period during the years 21 to 50AD.

 Roman SUVs are obviously the cause.

"We found that previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the Middle Ages were too low," the Daily Mail quoted lead author Professor Dr Jan Esper of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz as saying.

"This figure we calculated may not seem particularly significant, however it is not negligible when compared to global warming, which up to now has been less than 1 deg C," Dr Esper noted.

In general the scientists found a slow cooling of 0.6C over 2,000 years, which they attributed to changes in the Earth's orbit that took it further away from the Sun.

The finding, published in Nature Climate Change, is based on measurements stretching back to 138BC.

Yo, Heat Miser!Where's your toga?

Professor Esper's group at the Institute of Geography at JGU used tree-ring density measurements from sub-fossil pine trees originating from Finnish Lapland to produce a reconstruction reaching back to 138 BC. 

The study has for the first time precisely demonstrated that the long-term trend over the past two millennia has been towards climatic cooling.

 The bottom line, kiddies? Earth's climate has cycles that last many thousands of years and totalitarians use fear to control you.
