Middle Ages were warmer than today, say scientists
A review of more than 240 scientific studies has shown that today's temperatures are neither the warmest over the past millennium, nor are they producing the most extreme weather - in stark contrast to the claims of the environmentalists.

The review, carried out by a team from Harvard University, examined the findings of studies of so-called "temperature proxies" such as tree rings, ice cores and historical accounts which allow scientists to estimate temperatures prevailing at sites around the world.

The findings prove that the world experienced a Medieval Warm Period between the ninth and 14th centuries with global temperatures significantly higher even than today.

The global warming issue has always been bogus because they can't determine if the world was getting warmer outside of a small time period. Our weather records are no older than the United States. Now that a study shows that the world was once warmer, don't count on the "earth is falling" crowd to relent. Global Warming and the Kyoto treaty have always been about letting the rest of the world catch up to the United States economically. That's why countries like China aren't bound by the rules.
