Abnormal weather, past and future.(Letters)(Letter to the Editor)
SIR: The article by Garth W. Paltridge, "The Politicised Science of Climate Change" (October 2004), was of great interest to me. I have doubted the theory that much of climate change at present taking place is due to man's activities. In 1948, a wise old bushwalker friend made the observation, "there is no such thing as normal weather". Thus, I doubted the modern theory of man's influence on climate change because there is so much evidence of large and small climate change having been long before man's activities increased so much in scale.
Mr Paltridge mentioned the suggestion that the fifteenth century was much warmer than today. This is borne out in Gavin Menzies' recent book 1421: The Year China Discovered the WorM. It appears that prior to 1410 climate in the northern hemisphere was much warmer than now, due to a shift in the earth's axis. There were settlements of Norsemen in Greenland where now there are none. There was even a temporary ...
