It definitely is weird, these people are not like normal folk.<br /><br />"....disproving accepted theories that they only began retreating after the end of the little ice age in the mid-19th century." This assertion is false, and can only be the creation of a liar or ignoramus.<br /><br />These people are naive blithering idiots. A brief glance through the extensive literature on European alpine ice through the Holocene completely explodes their framing...once again, the sum of knowledge on past climate change is always defined by their personal ignorance.<br /><br />Holocene Optimum glaciation extent in the Alps is very well studied...even for these numpties you'd expect a globally circulated, cut-through pop-sci story like Otzi the Iceman's would have opened a few intellectual doors.<br /><br />And what did the denier-reviled Marcott paper, another high profile Holocene analysis, show them about the Holocene Optimum? Nothing, it seems. No, 'Schluchter' or those manipulating his words have only just now discovered the Holocene Optimum.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537772941984056434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-35234984947582036672014-08-09T08:16:03.760+10:002014-08-09T08:16:03.760+10:00This distorted story has been getting recycled for...This distorted story has been getting <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thegwpf.org/witnesses-of-earlier-climate-change/">recycled</a> for years.Steve Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943109973917998380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-30346710410971255662014-08-09T05:07:48.780+10:002014-08-09T05:07:48.780+10:00OT, but I just saw this new paper:

Zimov et al, Nature 2014<br /><br />Sent by a denier who claimed it was saying that siberian lakes are cooling. It's a bit less utterly ridiculous (but not much) in the context of the press release headline:<br />http://discover.umn.edu/news/environment/u-m-researcher-finds-cooling-effect-warming-arctic-lakes<br /><br />I wonder how long until it pops up at WUWT.numerobisnoreply@blogger.com
