Because of my role as one of the more active anthropogenic global warming AGW hype sceptics in Finland, I ordered via Amazon, The Long Summer, The Little Ice Age, and Floods, Famines and Emperors. I enjoyed these books very much and have recommended them to many friends and colleagues.
In your blog you do mention being attacked by IPCC believers and I sympathise with you having myself been harassed by the likes.
Anyhow, to return to my main question regarding climate change. I wonder if you have constructed any form of a concise list or table of �dates� and climatic events that could be used by us sceptics when being confronted by politically oriented climatologists in insisting on manmade global warming. As you know the proponents of AGW insist that the current slight increase in global temperature (itself a very strange parameter) is unprecedented in rapidity and thus leading to catastrophic extreme weather events.
Gratefully awaiting some form of answer from You, I remain,
Sincerely Yours

Happy faces all around, though we would have preferred more prehistory and less extra-terrestrials 8such a BORING concept).
As you say, the second movie is the weakest one (part incomprehensible story, part bimbo heroine). I'd put the last on the same level as no 3, maybe even a bit better, thanks to the long awaited return of Marion Ravenwood.
The reference to Childe had us all cheering loudly (I wonder if it was also included as a subtle commentary on the anti-communism rampant in the film, as Childe was one of the few that was influenced by Marx history-materialism?)
Fingers crossed that we will see a fith installment.]]>Comment on Indiana Jones - - - againtag:blog.brianfagan.com,2008-05-25:1071979Richard Church2008-05-25T17:42:30Z2008-05-25T17:42:30ZComment on Indiana Jones - - - againtag:blog.brianfagan.com,2008-05-21:1062907patrickhttp://www.kogmedia.com2008-05-21T14:23:36Z2008-05-21T14:23:36ZComment on We navigate tricky waterstag:blog.brianfagan.com,2008-05-06:1025062Mike Gamblehttp://www.silentamericanmajority.org2008-05-06T07:09:20Z2008-05-06T07:09:20Z Today IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY! In the not-too-distant future, it will be all about survival but only those who have money will survive. This is not a gloom and dome prediction, it's an unfortunate unavoidable fact.
Water for sale. Only $9.50 a gallon at your friendly Exxon Mobil station.
Maybe the scenario put forth in that old 1960's movie, Soilet Green, wasn't such a bad idea. Did Charlton Heston end up eating Edward G. Robinson? I can't remember. Question: If a billion or more human beings were to die, should they be buried or eaten? (My apologies for that thought. I'm only thinking out loud.)]]>Comment on At last something concretetag:blog.brianfagan.com,2008-05-02:1016714ArchAsahttp://tingotankar.blogspot.com/2008-05-02T00:45:25Z2008-05-02T00:45:25Z I'd be more concerned if they were... ;-)
Seriously, a great find and hopefully you will soon find settlement materials as well. I have no doubt that human settlement of the Americas took place before Clovis.]]>
