20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spicy-meatball dept.

gcranston writes "Research from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, U.K. shows that the 20th century was the warmest for the northern hemisphere since approximately 800AD. Historical climate data were calculated from weather 'proxies' such as tree rings, ice cores, and seashells from Europe, Asia, and North America, and attempted to address the shortcomings of earlier studies. The findings support the argument for global warming as a result of human interference rather than natural climate change."

    It's pretty damn cold where I am right now, I can't say I'm too concerned about global warming at the moment. More like not getting frostbite for my 12-minute walk from my car to work.

    I for one welcome our new global-warming overlords!

    Who the hell modded this a troll? You don't agree with the guy so he must be trolling? WTF? I hope you were not one of the ones whining about NASA being "censored" regarding their statements on global warming...
