It has to do with improved farm equipment and genetically advanced crops. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe You can halve your cares then since hops is not a grain. But barley likes colder conditions and grains can generally not move poleward with increasing temperatures because of limitations of day length. |

Owl Bore had four kids, a rate consistent with the doubling of the world population each generation, which is roughly what has been seen over the last several decades. |

If true, then you need to either live within walking distance of your astronomy club or to stop attending its meetings. |

Your last point is fair enough, but remember that higher CO2 levels will result in further warming and polar ice melt leading to sea level rises; you seem to be comfortable with the loss of much of the coastal cities of the world, I'm not sure it's what most people want - 'life in general' may have done OK, but 'people' will be seriously inconvenienced if we return to the ultra high CO2 levels we may have experienced in the past. SUV-driving, jet-setting warmingistas living at sea level would certainly feel "inconvenienced" if they had to give up their SUVs or else move inland. |

Spanish and Portuguese conquests in South America and the accompanying epidemics killed 70 to 95% of the indigenous population. They had a very high civilisation with cities in what is now rain forest with intensive agriculture. These cities are only now being rediscovered by aerial surveys. A lot of what is now rainforest is regrowth of the agricultural areas after the civilisations collapsed due mainly to smallpox. This caused a rapid fall in CO2 which led to the little ice age. Increasing use of coal and further deforestation in Europe then restarted the global warming. You cold make a case for the medieval warm period being partly cause by deforestation, particularly in Europe. Expecting a Hugo Award? |

Look up the facts.All there on the net. The CO2 figures show a big fall just after the time of the conquest. The South American, particularly Amazonian cities are being found with the archaeological evidence of extensive cultivation. If you doubt the regrowth of the forest just look at New England after the farmers packed up and moved west following the little ice age. |
