academic fraud on climate change

On a Joanna Lumley "expedition" style narrative on tv tonight she was searching for Noah's Arc ... she settled that the idea was likely a myth ... but she then morphed into seeing whether the "great flood" was possible.

She interviewed some Iranian academic who opinied temperatures were warmer and the climate considerably wetter in the region at the time of the great flood.

Hang on, I thought climate change was a modern phenomena based on global industrialisation and accelerating fossil fuel combustion over the past 200 years?

What the?
