Got any photos from 200 years ago?- Hide quoted text -

the fact that 200 years ago they found it necessary to declare
something a glacier which today seems to be an unimpressive,
relatively small pile of dirty snow, makes the need for a photo
irrelevant.

from last weekend's newspaper, travel section: Disney had to cancel
their tours of Rocky Mountain glaciers, as there's just nothing to see
there any more. Hey, who knew Disney ran tours? (the article gave them
a rave review, btw, and not just for kids)

Sure, during warming periods glaciers will retreat. Nothing new about that.
Nothing new about warming periods either. Or cooling ones.

Loehle's recent work makes it look to me that the earth in recent history has
something like a 1200 year cooling/warming cycle.

What do the AGWists want - stasis ?

what kind of rate per decade does a 1200 year cycle work out to?
conversely, given the rate of warming for the past few decades,
exactly how hot will it be 1200 years from now?
