The Little Ice Age In Europe
June 14, 2023
By Paul Homewood
The synthesis was published a couple of years ago. It contains nothing new, but it offers very good summary of how the LIA affected Europe:
It begins:
The paper then goes on to detail some of the effects of the LIA in Portugal; again a tale of cold winters, floods, droughts, wet summers and famines.
When politicians and climate scientists tell us that a degree of warming since pre-industrial times has already ruined the climate, this is the climate they want us to return to.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Most of the Green Loonies do not want to acknowledge the LITTLE ICE AGE ,and refuse to believe that in Roman times and earlier Medieval times the world was hotter than today .
Real science shows that a colder world makes the oceans absorb more CO2 , and the 1 C warming since the little Ice Age is the cause of an increase in atmospheric CO2 .
But that fact would shoot down the UNs Global warming fraud and stop their aim of destroying Western economies to bring in their Socialist world domination agenda .

For the IPCC, the term “Pre-Industrial” means a pristine world that existed just prior to the industrial revolution. For the rest of us, “Pre-Industrial” means the Little Ice Age. A time when millions perished from starvation and cold due to “summers without sun”. Thankfully, we have almost reached that magical 1.5C above “Pre-Industrial” so feared by the IPCC, but which will only return global temperatures to where they were during the Medieval Warm period. Hooray!
The delta-14C results from the last several decades must be well screwed up, first from fossil fuel burning and then from the atmospheric nuclear bomb tests?
Read elsewhere, thought it deserved more airing :-
“Before adopting the headless chicken reaction that the ‘experts’ are desperate to get you to. Try to find a single climate doom prediction from the experts that has actually come true. (hint; there are NONE). The Maldives are not inundated, sea levels have not changed in the last 150 years, the arctic is not not ‘ice free’ Greenland is still adding ice year on year, polar bears are ding fine as is the great barrier reef. The planet is still cooler now than it has been for 9,000 of the last 10,000 years. The ONLY measurable effect the rise in CO2 has actually produced is a vast increase in food production. thanks to the rise in CO2 the number of deaths caused by famine are at an all time low despite the population being at an all time high. compared to 50 years ago the number of famine deaths has fallen 40 FOLD while the population has increased by 40%. Humans releasing the CO2 trapped in fossil fuels is feeding the world, CO2 is life.”
How can the UK Met Office justify this, sent today 14th June?
Will Lang, Head of Situational Awareness at the Met Office, said: “The effects of human-induced climate change are already being felt on UK summers with an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme heat events over recent decades and temperatures in excess of 40°C recorded for the first time last summer.”
Neil, I am replying to you to put something on online record.
You may recall on the 4th June Paul posted about my concerns how poor Porthmadog weather station was sited.
A few days before that post I had put forward (in an email to the Met Office) a case that a very large number of their sites were so poor they did not come close to meeting their own standards. Such sites being in Walled Kitchen Gardens (e.g Scottish record heat at Floors Castle and others) by Aircraft runways (tens of them and both the English and Welsh records at Conningsby and Hawarden respectively) by Electricity substations such as Bradford West and others, by carparks within a few feet of vehicle exhausts, by sewage treatment plants ( e.g Northern Ireland record) by Botanic Gardens such as Cambridge that was delisted in 1931 by the met office themselves for being inaccurate due to UHI and so on and on and on.
Then a separate problem occurred – my posts were no longer getting through on this website, other emails I was sending were not transmitting, people were getting emails from me that I had not sent. I got onto AOL (I’ve had the email address for 26 years) who advised my email address had been “compromised” by me opening a phishing email link.
A password change was deemed nowhere near enough to resolve and they advised me they should completely shut down the email address. I did, opened a new one and asked AOL if they could trace the likely source email of the problem.
Today AOL advised me the culprit was a means of examining emails sent/received (“monitoring” was their term) s and was not otherwise infecting my computer (though my security had subsequently identified and removed the offending file) and was not a financial risk. When asked which was the offending email containing the link, they advised me to examine emails received on a particular date and between two time points and pointedly would say no more.
There was only one email and I remember clicking on an enclosed link.
It was from the Met Office.
If you forgot to disable remote content in your e-mail client, even opening any HTML part of a mail can trigger the web beacon tracking. They cannot do that for normal plain text.
I never click on any links in e-mail. I copy and paste them into the address bar of a web browser to see where they are really going. Either that or “view source”.

What struck me from the report is the claim that the “Upper Class” increased taxes to ensure their own income when times were bad, thus leading to revolts.
A similar situation to today where the ordinary people are having their income reduced by the increase of demands by the “privileged strata”.
