Global Warming (AGW) proponents finally admit defeat? They now say modern warming is just a fraction of past natural warming
Read here. The publication New Scientist has been at the forefront of global warming and climate change hysteria. After years of promoting climate model quackery and publicizing the ludicrous scare predictions from models, the editors must have mainlined truth serum as they publish actual empirical evidence. Or, maybe they're getting tired of pushing fabricated alarmist B.S., eh?
As proof, this adjacent chart was published by the New Scientist and it clearly shows that modern "unprecedented" global warming is no such thing.
If the New Scientist is now in the business of promoting truth and needs a source of additional empirical evidence charts, they certainly can use the many charts found here and here.
You say, "what the heck is going on here?" Well...after the miserable defeats at Durban, Cancun and Copenhagen, and in combination with the continuing Climategate2.0 exposure of the IPCC's fraudulent science, the global warming debate may be coming to an end, fitfully.
Maybe a clear sign of AGW proponents begging for mercy is their new embracement of actual empirical evidence regarding the climate. Enjoy while it lasts.

Lovely graph. Is it possible to overlay a CO2 graph covering all the different periods?
Thanks.

This is the full article, I think:- http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228392.300-hyperwarming-climate-could-turn-earths-poles-green.html
It maintains the NS warmist stance big time and is NOT an admission of pseudo science.
Real scientists and AGW sceptics are losing the game. Period.

This just proves that there were past civilizations that are now gone and they used coal to heat their ovens and cook dinosaurs! Well, I might as well make the claim before Hansen and Holdren say something like this.

I was ready to say 'Thank you, Santa' and 'Merry Christmas.' Yes, the graph says one thing, but New Scientist's opening line is: "AN ERA of ice that has gripped Earth's poles for 35 million years could come to an end as extreme global warming really begins to bite."
Yes, they talk about historical processes, too. But then there is this absurd quote: "Pearson emphasises that hothouse Earth is far from inevitable. "We can prevent this happening," he says."
John Christy rightly labeled such as "hubris."

Looks like Gore's invention (the internet) has taken down the Global Warming Alarmist. Without it no telling where we'd be today. Thank you Al.

This is a big story; keep pushing it.
