THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper shows Canadian temperatures as warm or warmer than the present many times over past 785 years
A paper published today in Quaternary Research reconstructs June-July temperature trends from the British Columbia Coast Mountains in Canada over the past 785 years from 1225-2010. The paper shows temperatures were as warm or warmer than the present [2010] during many periods in the past including around ~ 1240, 1270, 1310, 1340, 1400, 1460, 1500, 1550, 1590, 1660, 1670, 1710, 1820, and 1930-1940.
