London, April 7, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Daily Telegraph on line reports today on a new Harvard study proving that world temperatures between the ninth and fourteenth centuries were significantly higher than today.
The study, soon to be published in the journal Energy and Environment, seriously undermines claims that man-made pollution is causing "unprecedented" global warming and that global warming is necessarily harmful. The supporting data were derived from the most comprehensive study yet of global temperatures over the past 1,000 years. More than 240 scientific studies were reviewed says the Telegraph.
The Harvard scientists note that the exaggeration of the significance of today's temperature rise is the result of looking at data over too short a period of time and that the world has been warming since 1900 from a harsh cooling period that lasted from the 1300s.
The Telegraph quotes Dr Philip Stott of the University of London who says, "During the Medieval Warm Period, the world was warmer than today, and history shows that it was a wonderful period of plenty for everyone."
As usual, UN-related scientists dispute the significance of the Harvard study. Massive UN de-population and international economic re-structuring programs, such at the Kyoto protocol, heavily depend on assumptions that too many people in the world are endangering the earth by causing environmental disasters such as global warming.
