This article is in Spanish. I translated into English a little excerpt. Poblaciones del pleistoceno del norte de África: clima en movimiento www.historiayarqueologia.com/2017/02/poblaciones-del-pleistoceno-del-norte.html "... the investigations of Larraosaña and his colleagues have detected up to 230 episodes of regreening of the Sahara in the last eight million years. The second map would correspond well to the climate of the late Middle Pleistocene, about 120,000 years ago, or to the beginning of the Holocene, about 11,000 years ago. ... During the 230 episodes inferred by Larraosaña and his colleagues, the monsoon rains widened their influence throughout North Africa, leaving sufficient rainfall to transform the continent into a place full of life. The changes were sudden from the perspective of geological time, since they occurred in periods of between 2,000 and 8,000 years. But they also disappeared in very short times."

Welcome, blustnmtn. I think we all learn something here, every day. At least, I do... even at my age.

Alarm about alarmism, by Judith Curry"In understanding climate change risk, and deciding on the ‘if’ and ‘what’ of ‘action’, we need to acknowledge that we don’t know how the climate of the 21st century will play out (Deep Uncertainty, folks). Four possibilities: - It is possible that human-caused climate change will be swamped by much larger natural climate variability. - It is possible/plausible that the sensitivity of the climate is on the low end of the IPCC envelope (1.0-1.5C), with a slow creep of warming superimposed on much larger natural variability. - It is possible/plausible that the IPCC projections are actually correct (right for the wrong reasons; too much wrong with the climate models for much credibility, IMO). - It is possible that AGW and natural variability could conspire to cause catastrophic outcomes. We can’t put probabilities on these possible scenarios, the uncertainties are too deep. We can speculate as to the relative likelihoods of these scenarios, but we don’t know, and there will be widespread disagreement. The negotiated IPCC notwithstanding, I don’t regard #3 as any more likely than #2. There are some that regard #1 as the most likely outcome. Apart from advocacy groups hyping alarm, there has not been much serious attention paid to #4".

[quote timestamp="1497423235" author=" hrizzo" Glad to see you back with us Mr Hrizzo. hope things are well.[/quote] Thank you, missouriboy. Old heart is recovering... a little, at least. But I'll try to keep it beating for as long as I can, of course.

"The Progressives are part and parcel of the Bolshevik Continuum. The individual cannot be trusted. The State is the only purveyor of truth. Those who challenge the Prophet (or the State) must be neutralized."
Great phrase, missouriboy! I am saving it.

The fact is, Graywolf, that as far as the two poles reacting the same way, the AGW conjecture (it is not even a hypothesis, much less a theory) has been proven wrong.
Of course, if the scientific method is applied, we will eventually learn a lot more about climate. Do you think official climate scientists are up to the task? For me, and looking at their historic records, they are not.

Well, Ratty... Antarctic alarmists have been desperate for a long time now, you know.
