The old climate change, page-58

no one argues that it hasn’t been hotter in the past. The point is that it’s thought that man is making it hotter at the moment, or helping it to be hotter.
When one looks at the rate rise since about 1950, it’s pretty obvious that something is clearly going on, and it’s far more likely to have something to do with us.
And as to your silly argument that it was hotter in Minoan times, the results are obvious, a warmer climate at that time, most likely destroyed their civilisation.
That’s a pretty good reason to not aid heating.

Also I believe the point you were feebly attempting to make was that life was good when it was warmer in the Minoan era. You just changed tack when you worked out but they actually died out - kaput from the warm world.
