Using soil or other bore samples has actually shown that there have been extreme temperature movements and cycles.
Nevertheless - back to what I said previously: I won't hurt us to look after the world we live in. It's only on loan to us from future generations.

my point was to focus on the manmade effect on global warming. if you looked closely at my post you would have picked up on my statement regarding it being necessary to walk much lighter on this earth in every fashion

Gee, since the science is so definitive, I expect good, detailed, answers to all the question in just a few minutes.....

you know, trying to explain that to people who get all foamy at the mouth and soapboxy just never works (not meaning you do), so many of the rational explanations get swept away in the hype

The total estimated global warming warming since we began monitoring the temperature in 1850 has been a grand total of 0.76 C. Not even one degree. To say that we can measure that small an amount of temperature change in a tree ring is just not believable.

I've done a lot of focused work in the southwest in archaeological digs. what they can get out of tree ring dating that helps date drought vs. non drought years is both fascinating and VERY educational
