Quote (Stu @ Dec. 08 2009,17:23)The Medieval Warm Period appears to me to have been an effect concentrated around the North Atlantic, although its effect on oxygen isotopic ratios in stalagmites in New Zealand suggests that there was some global effect in play.  One suggested consequence of global warming is that the Gulf Stream will be disrupted…[Read more]
