Andrew Bostom exposes the Horse Hockey Climate Scientology: “Getting Rid” of the Medieval Warming Period
Statement of Dr. David Deming: “Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee, and distinguished guests, thank you for inviting me to testify today. I am a geologist and geophysicist. I have a bachelor’s degree in geology from Indiana University, and a Ph. D in geophysics from the University of Utah. M;y field of specialization in geophysics is temperature and heat flow…. In 1995, I published a short paper in the academic journal Science. In that study, I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in NOrth America over the last 100 to a50 years. The week the article appeared, I was contacted by a REPORTER FOR NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO. HE OFFERED TO INTERVIEW ME, BUT ONLY IF I WOULD STATE THAT THE WARMING WAS DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITY. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me.”
Deming: “I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email FROM A MAJOR RESEARCHER IN THE AREA OF CLIMATE CHANGE. HE SAID, ‘WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THE MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD.’ “

McKitrick: “… The world experienced a ‘warm’ interval in the medieval era that DWARFS 20th century changes. The present-day climate appears to be simply a recovery from the cold years of the ‘Little Ice Age.’ “
