Back in around the 12th century there was a drought in the area of Cancun Mexico that lasted for almost 100 years.

Warming - Is it Permanent?
I remember that! I was down there for a vacation and the whole city was out of Orange Crush soda!
Prof. Carlo Rubbia is an Italian physicist and academic, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1984.
′′ I am someone who has worked at least a quarter of a century on the issue of energy in various aspects and therefore I know things very clearly.
I would like to express some concepts quickly, also because the timing is short.
The first observation is that Earth's climate has always changed. Today we think (in a way, probably falsely) that if we keep CO2 (Carbon Anhydride) under control, the Earth's climate will remain unchanged. This is absolutely not true.
I would like to remind you that during the last million years Earth was dominated by periods of glaciation where the average temperature was less than 10 degrees, except very short periods, where there was the temperature that is today. The last one was 10.000 years ago when the change started with agriculture, development and so on, which is the basis of all our civilization today.
In the last 2.000 years, for example, Earth's temperature has changed profoundly. In the time of Romans, Hannibal crossed the Alps with elephants to come to Italy. We couldn't come today, because the temperature of the earth is lower than what it was in Romans times. So today elephants couldn't cross the area where they went then.
There was a period in the Middle Ages when a small glaciation occurred. Then, around the year 1000 there was a temperature increase similar to Romans times. Let's remember that in the time of Romans the temperature was higher than today. Then there was a mini-glaciation, during the period of 1500-1600. For example, the Vikings experienced massive survival problems due to this mini-glaciation, which developed with substantial temperature changes.
If we stay in the last 100 years, there have been significant climate changes, which happened well before the anthropogenic effect, greenhouse effect and so on. For example, in the s there was a substantial change.
The presence of man probably brought about further changes. Let's not forget that when I was born, Earth's population was 3,7 times less than today. Primary energy consumption increased 11 times in my life.
Regarding the behavior of the planet, this has had very strange and contradictory effects.
I would like to remind you for example that from 2000 to 2014, Earth's temperature has not risen: it has decreased by 0,2 degrees and we have not observed any sizeable climate change in the last 15 years. This is something you all need to realize, because we are not facing a temperature explosion: the temperature has risen until 2000: since then we have remained constant, actually we are down 0,2 degrees.

The Fall of the Maya: 'They Did it to Themselves' | Science Mission Directorate
Archeologists are using NASA satellites and supercomputers to crack the mystery of the ancient Maya. New findings suggest the Maya may have played a key role in their own downfall.
Global warming can be reversed quickly with a few good volcano eruptions. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/...ntic-named-storms-five-possible-explanations/
Yes those Mayans...,I studied their culture in University... they seemed to have over used the land, cutting most of the trees...which caused drought. which caused famine , which caused warfare and that was the end of the Mayan classic period...Kind of like whats happening today...........The Fall of the Maya: 'They Did it to Themselves' | Science Mission Directorate

We could learn from history if we were willing to learn it. The Mayans had an overpopulation problem, as there is in many countries nowadays.
Climate Change causes calm. And renders Wind Turbines ineffective
You can find every nut job right wing site, I give you that.
Myself? Not a big fan of wind turbines. The wind doesn't blow all the time in the best of locations and something needs to pick up the slack rendering the wind turbine approach less than ideal.
What we need is any type of power that is available because developing nations don't have choices.
Is global warming permanent> Yep, until the next ice age.
I firmly believe that
I have been to those caves in So France.... where the glacier stopped (finally!!)
Imagine Europe covered by a glacier... and then gone -- POOF!!
w/o one car or coal fired factory
A typical cycle of nature.....

Hmmm, perhaps we need to start a movement to stop glaciers? I'll get right on it after I'm finished with my "Stop Continental Drift Now!" protest.
Those caves house some of the earliest known drawings..... on the cave walls
Earliest known to mankind...
Spain & So Africa have some too... going back 70,000 yrs

Reality is slowing injecting itself at the UN Climate Conference. A growing number of attendees believe that negotiating to limit the rise to 1.5 degrees is pointless. Regardless of what we do, the temperature will rise to 2.4 degrees and the resulting impacts will be worse than previously thought.
Over 500 attendees are fossil fuel industry lobbyists. Some attendees say they are needed. Other say they are stopping real progress. Lobbyists are purely self serving. Thinking they are there for the common good is asinine.
China and Russia promised nothing. Our Prime Minister promised impossible things knowing the targets won’t be met and he won’t be in power to take responsibility for the failure. The US President shipped an embarrassing number of cars to Rome and Glasgow for his entourage. Australia refused to cut coal production. The developed nations have fallen well short of the billions promised to help nations immediately affected by climate change.
In hindsight, I think the DR President made a wise decision to not attend the conference and focus on pressing domestic security matters. Who in their right mind, would want their name attached to the circus going on in Glasgow.

Greenland's Ice Loss Trend Has Now Reversed, Danish Data Reveals - Crisis Averted - Electroverse
A new trend has now emerged across the Greenland ice sheet, and it's one of catastrophic embarrassment for the AGW Party.

however, the "movement" will just say : see, see, that's more evidence that global warming is happening. No mater the results, its evidence that global warming is upon us. They want everyone to give up their cars, take public transportation and the latest, my favorite, stop using leaf blowers as they are huge pollutersGreenland's Ice Loss Trend Has Now Reversed, Danish Data Reveals - Crisis Averted - Electroverse
