So you refute the researchers findings?
The only other plausible explanation would be that they imported barley from Scandinavia which is highly unlikely due to the vast distances involved.

I don't care whether the Vikings grew barley on Greenland or not.
I was simply pointing out that their findings may have been driven by monetary considerations, in order to preserve their funding.
You choose to discount one set of scientific findings yet choose to blindly accept others because they fit your agenda.

Isn't it plausible that they took some barley over and found they couldn't grow it in sufficient quantities and threw it away?
That's why it was in the rubbish heap.

There certainly isn't any evidence of them growing barley because the evidence apparently couldn't survive due to the thin nature of Greenland's soil and the passage of time.

There's a big difference between large corporations funding scientists to say that junk food isn't that bad for you, compared with scientists studying anthropology.
Unless of course a Flour company paid for the research into the vikings growing barley on Greenland then there would be a conflict of interest.

What have Vikings on Greenland got to do with global warming now in 2024? Absolutely nothing. Their existence doesn’t disprove the impact of humans on the climate.

There are over 7 billion more people on the planet now than there were then and we hadn’t begun to burn fossil fuels on an industrial scale until the 1800s and we hadn’t begun dumping plastics in the world’s oceans until the 1950s onwards.

We’ve been very busy trashing everything for a couple of hundred years and finally we’re realising that there is a limit.

It shows that the Climate always has and always will change regardless of humans.
Only Malthusians/Eugenicists like yourself blame humans for climate change.

I have repeatedly stated that climate change has occurred throughout time. The only part of climate change we humans have had a massive impact upon, is the period since the Industrial Revolution. That’s a fact and can’t be ignored.

Prove it then. Give us some real cold hard evidence.

Deforestation including the continued felling of the Amazon Rainforest: this is a human activity on a massive scale the world over. Deforestation causes droughts beyond the area of tree felling and the reduction of mature trees reduces the amount of carbon capture, this means it remains in the atmosphere, increasing greenhouse gases which in turn, increase global temperatures.

The UK mainland was once covered in trees and temperate rainforest was its status. Now only pockets remain and we have extremes of temperature and regular droughts in the south.

A good example of a non sequiter argument.
Don't be tempted to give up postie-ing in favour of a career in forensic analysis.

It’s related to the previous paragraph.

I mean, milly literally said that global warming wasn’t being caused by humans. Given that 97% of the world’s scientists agree that it is, that in itself is a conspiracy theory claim.

The scientists agree with whoever funds them.
Anyhow I'm keen to hear how humans caused the medieval warm period?
During this period the vikings grew barley on Greenland and now its impossible.

97% of the world’s scientists are open to bribes apparently. milly is not a conspiracy theorist though.

Still waiting for you to explain the medieval warm period enabling the vikings to sustain themselves growing crops on Greenland or why the Sahara was a savvanah a few thousand years ago.
Scientists on the payroll of companies will say anything for funding, hence this headline from two days ago.
‘Ultra-processed’ jam and cereals no worse than more natural foods, US breakfast study concludes

Ooh thanks for the continued education Milly. Out of interest was the medieval warm period a globally synchronous event? Or largely regional?

Also, was the temperature increase during the medieval warm period similar to todays warming?

Are there any theories as to what might have caused the medieval warm period? Maybe solar variability or volcanic activity?

Was the rate of temperature increase back then comparable to the past century?

The medieval warm period was followed by the mini-ice age.
If you're interested in the topic I suggest you do your own research.
The Climate never stops changing with or without humans.

If only you knew how stupid you come across.

That's the type of comment which will get the thread locked. Pretty ironic, too.

How did the election go?

How did the election go?

The UniParty won again.
I hope you are looking forward to your Labour Party getting us embroiled in a futile War in Ukraine.

Wait now for all the green taxes. Nigel has his foot in Parliament, he will call out Labour on everything they do. He’s coming for you.

I really don't think you will be smiling by the time Sir Keir is finished.
