I've not understood how this demonstrates unprecedented climate change, since presumably there is past precedent that laid the hungerstones in the first place.

I've not understood how this demonstrates unprecedented climate change, since presumably there is past precedent that laid the hungerstones in the first place. This seems to demonstrate this level of warming happened before in the medieval ages, before human caused global warming was possible. Wouldn't this mean hungerstones count as evidence against human caused global warming?
- peteradio 8y agoDepends, how many uncorrelated rare (in the no global climate change hypothesis) events are simultaneously occurring?
- yters 8y agoYes, that's a good point. But, then what is our basis of comparison? When the hungerstones were laid was there not similar warming going on elsewhere? Without knowing this, it is hard to draw conclusions from the hungerstones.
