Next time climate change activists tell you that current weather conditions are unprecedented and harming our planet, the glaciers are telling a different story. Melting glaciers in the Norwegian mountains reveals evidence of a very warm Medieval period, specifically in the Lendbreen Mountain Pass, an important trade route from the Roman Era to the late Middle Ages.
What does this mean? It tells us that today’s conditions are not unprecedented. When you hear about retreating glaciers today translating into doom for mankind, here’s the thing: In the first millennium A.D., there were no glaciers in Norway and people were traveling through forest terrain. Then the glaciers came and they are only now retreating. Dr. John Robson, executive director of the Climate Discussion Nexus and documentary filmmaker, says this suggests, “That it was warmer in the latter part of the Roman warm period and in Norway, at least, in the early part of the Medieval warm period, than it is now.”
Not good news for the climate fearmongers. Tune in as Dr. Robson tells us more about what glaciers and satellites are telling us about past warm periods and the present not-so-scary warm one in this edition of Climate Discussion Nexus.
