In my research the NAS AFFIRMED THE Medieval Warm Period from 900AD to 1300AD AND THE LITTLE ICE AGE abuot 1500AD to 1850AD.Both of these periods occured long before S.U.V.'S or humane industrial activity could have possibly impacted the Earth's climate.In fact scientist's believe that the Earth was warmer then during the Medieval Warm Period than today.This is when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland.At the end of the Little Ice age about 1850 the temperatures began rising long before CO2 EMISSIONS could have impacted climate.Then about 1940 just as man made emissions rose sharply,the temperatures began a decline until the 1970's prompting the media and scientiststo fear acoming ice age.A quote from the ever liberal magazine Newsweek that the ever changing weather patterns would cause a drastic decline in food production.New York Times headline CLIMATE CHANGES ENDANGERS WORLDS FOOD SUPPLY.Time MAGAZINE The bizarre and unpredictable weather patterns of the past several years are alarming scientists and the meteorological fluctuations are part of a global climatic upheaval.These articles were written in 1974-1975 they were not about global warming but the warning of a coming ice age.Fear mongers like Al Gore and the liberals who want to bring this country to itsd knees.
