Warming in the 20th century seen over 98% of the world is in “stark contrast” to previous warm and cool periods such as the “Little Ice Age” when frost fairs were famously held on a frozen Thames, which occurred on a regional basis.
Commenting on the research, experts said the findings reinforced the role of human activity on the climate and countered claims by “deniers” that the rising temperatures the world is experiencing are part of a natural cycle.The study, published in the journal Nature, examined climate changes over the past 2,000 years which were thought to have been global in nature, such as the Medieval warm period from 800 to 1200 AD and the Little Ice Age between 1300 and 1850.This paper should finally stop climate change deniers claiming that the recent observed coherent global warming is part of a natural climate cycle.Prof Mark Maslin
