Around 800 A.D. a phenomenon known as the Medieval Warm Period was starting. It was a time of about 700 years of increased global temperatures.
Just like, wow! JUST LIKE NOW!
Do you think there was a guy in 800 A.D.named Albert Gore who made a minstrel tale named "Thine Inconvenientest Truth", which said that the world would end soon.
He probably attributed the increased temperature to the large number of ships. Maybe the ships were using their sails to catch the wind, and therefore the wind could no longer cool the earth.
All the minstrels then tried to convince everybody to quit using sails so that the earth would cool down.
And guess what? It did, 700 years later. And guess when that was? 700 years ago.
So the earth warmed up for 700 years, then cooled down for 700 years, and now it is starting to warm up again, but somehow it is human's fault?
Simmer down, thine minstrel Albert Gore.
