Hurricane Isaac: A Good Time For A Climate Post

As Hurricane Isaac bears down on the Gulf Coast–mostly missing Florida, apparently–and the RNC cancels the first night of the convention, it is an opportune time to catch up on the latest in climate science. You can do this by subscribing to the Science and Environmental Policy Project’s The Week That Was. From this week’s edition, one of the highlights is a report on a study of ice cores from Antarctica done by the British Antarctic Survey:

 

The British Antarctic Survey announced the publication of a study of an ice core from James Ross Island in the Antarctic Peninsula. Subject to ocean currents, the instruments on the Peninsula have shown recent warming, while instruments on the main Antarctic continent have shown cooling. Among the striking findings are that the Peninsula warmed by 6°C as it emerged from the last ice age, and that about 11,000 years ago it was about 1.3°C warmer than today’s average temperatures. After that the climate cooled, reaching the lowest point about 600 years ago (during the Little Ice Age). “Approximately 600 years ago, the local temperature started to warm again, followed by a more rapid warming in the last 50–100 years that coincides with present-day disintegration of ice shelves and glacier retreat.”

 

The alarmists purport to be doing science, but they are constantly required to ignore inconvenient facts in order to uphold the reliability of their models. Thus, the Medieval Warm Period never happened and the Little Ice Age was confined to Europe.
