This is Part II of my commentary on the SP&T series titled “The Last Stand”.
Part I of my commentary is found here.
Quoting Mr. Brandon Gee (with emphasis mine):
“Throughout the continent, beetles are thriving in some
altitudes and climes like never before because of higher temperatures.”
Never? Really?
Please, Mr. Gee, stop with the alarmist hyperbole!
Quoting NASA Goddard (home to Al Gore’s pal James Hansen):
“1934 is the warmest year in the contiguous states”NCPA better describes what Hansen only grudgingly admits:
“Six of the top 10 hottest years occurred before 90 percent of the growthIf you wonder why so-called “journalists” have not
in greenhouse gas emissions during the last century occurred.”
told you that, then you need to read this book.
The Next Four Charts WILL FURTHER
Put This MYTH to Rest.

The data used in the above charts are found in:
Ice Core Data to more than 420,000 years ago:
this file downloaded from this page (Petit et al. 1999 to 3310m).
The past 41 years at the same location as the Ice Core studies (Vostok):
This page.
To verify that the reference point for the Vostok Ice Core study is -55.5C, click here,
then click on “click to view full summary”.
Today, the mean temperature at Vostok is -55.3C,
0.2C warmer than the mean at the time of the study (1999).
The Holocene is the name for the current interglacial warming period.
The interglacial warming period which immediately preceded
the Holocene is known as the Eemian.
Some 8,000 years ago, the temperature was 2.06C warmer than
the mean temperature at Vostok at the time of the study (1999)
and 2.04C warmer than the present mean of -55.3C.
But, we can see from the second chart that there were many, MANY times
in the last 10,000 years when the climate was apparently warmer than today!
In this file, ANY number in the rightmost column greater than 0.2 indicates
a temperature which is higher than the current mean.
We can see that the temperature at Vostok was higher than the current mean
as recently as 190 years ago!
The highest known temperature during the Eemian was 3.23C higher than
the mean temperature from 1999 and 3.21C higher than the present mean.
The bottom line?
Unless the Mountain Pine Beetle first appeared sometime
AFTER 1934, then “never” is NOT the correct word in this case!
Of course, we KNOW this is NOT the case!
AND, we also KNOW that this beetle did MORE DAMAGE in the 1930’s!

P.S.) We are currently experiencing one of the
3 coldest Ice Ages in the last 600 million years!
