The Roman Northamptonshire wine
was good, not excessively fine.
So it just goes to show
that Bill Nye does not know
of Climate Change past, that’s my line.
During the Roman warm period wine grapes were grown almost up to the Hadrian Wall, The the dark ages came and grapes no longer ripened in England. During the Medieval Warm Period there was at least one cheese farm on Greenland “Gården under sanden”, abandoned as the glaciers regrew, starting the “Little Ice Age”. We are still recovering from the little ice age. 2016 may have been a warm year, but most years since the ice age were warmer. See Chart.
We are still in the sweet spot of a remarkable stable Climate, only more CO2 will save us from a new Ice Age.

It is true that human activity causes climate change, and as for CO2, it is all to the good. Cutting down rain forests in Borneo to produce bio-fuel is not.
Does this make me a denier?
If more CO2 will bring palm trees to Lake Erie, I say, drill baby drill.
I am suspicious that CO2 is actually peaked as any kind of contributor to warming, however (saturation and limited effect on the IR spectrum).
Finally! Someone who makes real sense of all this. Thank you! Tell me more about the Cheese Farms during the Medieval Warm Period before I decide to mail a $1.00 check to Al Gore.
