Abstract

The hockey stick emphasizes the relative stability of the global climate over the common era--and how rapidly we are leaving this era of climate stability. The irony, in my view, is that some of the more important lessons we can learn from studying the climate of the Common Era (the period spanning the past 2,000 years) have been eclipsed by the almost single-minded focus of climate advocates and climate deniers alike on this one curve developed in the late 1990s. Reconstructions of past El Niño behavior based on climate proxy data bear out a controversial hypothesis linking explosive tropical volcanic eruptions and historical El Niño events.
