Just a Touch

In  my long, long hiatus, I've kept a jaundiced eye on the global warming question. I occasionally note that the long-term trend of global temperatures does not show a current warming trend out of line with the historic record. This image, which I took from Power Line , tells an interesting story all on its own.

For instance, I knew about the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age but I was unaware of the Minoan Warm Period. All of these occurred within recorded history.

I find it quite interesting. (It may work best to click on the image so that it expands. If it's still tough to read, then please take the link to Power Line where I got it.)
