'A case will be made for the abandonment of both of them (“Medieval Warm Period” and “Medieval Climate Anomaly“)

Those warmists have been at it agian trying to fit facts to their world view and thus ensure their income stream. Watts Up With That has the details of this mostly unreported gahering in Portugal.

Here are some extracts from the meeting's abstracts, Watts Up With That has many more:

'The trajectories of these two concepts (“Medieval Warm Period” and “Medieval Climate Anomaly “) will be traced. A case will be made for the abandonment of both of them, on the grounds that they are inappropriate, uninformative, and that they very probably divert attention from more revealing ways of thinking about the Earth’s climate over the past two millennia.
...
...there is little utility in picking over definitions of the geographic and temporal extent of putative epochs, especially in the Late Holocene. The pressing questions concern the dynamics of the climate system, and the relative roles of free and forced variations, whether the forcings are anthropogenic or not.'

And then there is this comment from MBH98 co-author Malcolm K. Hughes on the MCA/MWP:

'A case will be made for the abandonment of both of them, on the grounds that they are inappropriate, uninformative, and that they very probably divert attention from more revealing ways of thinking about the Earth’s climate over the past two millennia.'

The warmists are going nowhere they have an industry to fund and a world view to spread. And until such time as the warmists are proved wrong and ridiculed, governments will seize on their research as a basis for raising consumption taxes.
