Spring comes early due to global warming

Spring appears to be arriving earlier every year due to global warming according to a leading botanist.
The change in the times at which plants bloom is being referred to as "season creep" and has been documented for several decades. An analysis of 100 of the most popular types of flower had previously revealed that 90% of them were blooming up to 44 days earlier than they had done 20 years ago.
The leaves of the English oak are appearing sooner, meaning that winter moths are coming out earlier and, because the birds that eat them are still flying north, they have already turned from caterpillars and into moths.

http://pages.science-skeptical.de/MWP/MedievalWarmPeriod.html "The idea of a medieval warm period was formulated for the first time in 1965 by the English climatologist Hubert H. Lamb [1]. Lamb, who founded the UK Climate Research Unit (CRU) in 1971, saw the peak of the warming period from 1000 to 1300, i.e. in the High Middle Ages. He estimated that temperatures then were 1-2 ° C above the normal period of 1931-1960. In the high North, it was even up to 4 degrees warmer" http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/29/the-medieval-warm-period-a-global-phenonmena-unprecedented-warming-or-unprecedented-... [More]

I don't think you have quite understood what I explained to you about your graphs have you?

So you accept older data over new data and from a period when climatology was a very limited science? You are basically accepting less accurate information over more accurate information on the say so of someone who doesn't study climatology. I don't think you have quite understood what I explained to you about your graphs have you? I understand that you were trying to fool yourself that those charts were older data from a period when climatology was a very limited science. anyone can check. stop lying to yourself.
