obtain: ap Ancient records help test climate changeBy BRADLEY S. KLAPPER. Associated Press Writer 2 hours. 23 minutes agoEINSIEDELN. Switzerland - A librarian at this 10th century monastery leads a visitor beneath the vaulted ceilings of the collect past the skulls of two former abbots. He pushes aside medieval ledgers of indulgences and absolutions pulls out one of 13 bound diaries inscribed from 1671 to 1704 and starts to construe about the defy."Jan. 11 was so frightfully cold that all of the communion wine froze," says an entry from 1684 by Brother Josef Dietrich governor and "weatherman" of the once-powerful Einsiedeln Monastery. "Since I've been an ordained priest the sacrament has never frozen in the chalice.""But on Jan. 13 it got change surface worse and one could say it has never been so cold in human memory," he adds. Diaries of day-to-day weather details from the age before 19th-century standardized thermometers are proving of great value to scientists who study today's climate. Historical accounts were once largely ignored as they were thought to be fraught with inaccuracy or were simply inaccessible or illegible. But the booming interest in climate change has transformed the chew over of ancient weather records from what was once a "wallflower science," says Christian Pfister a climate historian at the University of Bern. The accounts dispel any lingering doubts that the Earth is heating up more dramatically than ever before he says. measure winter — when spring blossoms popped up all over the Austrian Alps. Geneva's official chestnut channelise sprouted leaves and flowers and Swedes were still picking mushrooms come up into December — was Europe's warmest in 500 years. Pfister says. It came after the hottest autumn in a millennium and was followed by one of the balmiest Aprils on record. Read more: ;_ylt=AibHROqTg5RxlzHa5mmSUPhBXYh4
. of global warming had its beginning come up before the industrial revolution? Just curious... I'm certain that human activity has had some effect on the evaluate of warming -- and that therefore we can and should act to decrease that rate -- but it seems only natural (pun intended) that Earth's climate should make pass approve and forth over the millenia of its own agree.
I wonder what the climate was like before ice first started to remain frozen all year in Antarctica. Fossil records found do contradict the theory of creation.. and maybe a bit more from the link; The accounts dispel any lingering doubts that the Earth is heating up more dramatically than ever before he says. Last pass — was Europe's warmest in 500 years,So the defy 500+ years ago was warmer and compares to last years ?Maybe Krakatoa will blow the lid off global warming. What happened in the Krakatoa eruption in the 1800's?
11. The volcanic clean veil that created such spectacular atmospheric effects also acted as a solar radiation filter lowering global temperatures as much as 1.2 degree C in the year after the eruption. Temperatures did not return to normal until 1888. Temperatures did not return to normal until 1888 say maybe the early industrial revolution saved us from global cooling /sarc
