Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years



BY S. FRED SINGER and DENNIS T. AVERY

More than 70 percent of the world's recent global warming occurred between
1850 and 1940, before much human-emitted CO2. What could have caused a
pre-industrial warming? Science points to the sun.

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was already being
created when researchers retrieved the first long ice cores from Greenland
and the Antarctic in the 1980s. The ice cores revealed 400,000 years of
the planet's temperature history—and a 1,500-year cycle that was too long
and moderate to be discerned by Celtic tribes or Viking seamen. Physical
evidence of the 1,500-year climate cycle has also been found in more than
100 recent peer-reviewed studies by leading research institutes including:
the bottom sediments of six oceans and hundreds of lakes, relict tree
rings from around the northern hemisphere, and the cave stalagmites and
glacier movements of every continent plus New Zealand. The North American
Pollen Data Base shows nine complete reorganizations of our trees and
plants in the past 14,000 years, or one every 1650 years.

History documents a so-called Roman Warming in the 1st century AD, a
Medieval Warming in the 11th, and the Little Ice Age that gripped the
planet from 1400 to 1850. The same long, natural cycle shows up in the
Nile flood records of ancient Egypt and the court records of Japan. Right
on Nature's schedule, we're now 150 years into a Modern Warming.

Unstoppable Global Warming notes the startling correlation between earth's
varying temperatures and the length of the sunspot cycles. It says small
variations in the sun's irradiance are amplified on earth by more or fewer
cosmic rays slamming into our atmosphere, ionizing more or less water
vapor, and creating more or fewer wet, cooling clouds.
