The word climate is mentioned >= 14 times in the article, not including the references. It is clearly an article about climate. Despite our measuring the climate (NOT WEATHER) in 30 year increments, and despite our knowing that from a climate perspective, the Last Glacial Maximum was ~21k years ago and during this time the glaciation hit a maximum and sea levels dropped incredibly. It was also during this time that glaciers covered half of North America and most of Canada, which retreated and then came back again. Yet, we act in some our media as if the knowledge of these events is suddenly novel, and that the trend of de-glaciation is somehow fresh. That the climatic reversion to the mean has just emerged Saying that we need to replace a climate based timeline for a geological one is an order of magnitude of hyperbole. Please, continue hiding the Medieval Warm Period and the Piri Reis Map and other things when it is convenient.

This "medieval warm period" that doesn't look anywhere close to what we're going through ? And yes earth has been much colder and much warmer, so what ?

  > This "medieval warm period" that doesn't look anywhere close to what we're going through Southern Greenland, England, Russian, and Norway were all growing wine grapes during the medieval warm period. Some people claim the medieval warm period was regional, but this seems to be misstated - 55th parallel north across the world. Wine was being made in England as far north as York, and in the Americas, in Southern Ontario. This calls into question the "regionalism" of the Medieval Warm Period. One of the biggest reasons that the MWP is called into question is because the Climate Models don't have a good understanding of why, and we think it may have had a lower CO2 amount than today (although ice core drilling has numerous scientific problems)
