Weather through time is determined by all sorts of things, not limited to written records..
For example, they cut open a tree to see the weather changes during the life of the tree, they look at rock patterns etc..
When did I ever state I was upset about his opinion? Saying someone is wrong with their opinion isn't called "being upset."
You ran around calling him names like "hack journalist" because he disagrees with you. One doesnt usually get upset with others without knowing the basis of the other individuals opinion. You havent bothered though to find out because you are simply upset, he doesnt agree with you..

Lefties only believe in the science that's fed to them by their masters.
After all, the "written word" is so short of a timescale, according to you evolutionists, that it is simply a minute point of the entirety of climate history. Ergo, meaningless.
I know you didn't argue that it's "historic" just to be entertaining... but since you know that time period means nothing in terms of climate history, were you trying to be deceptive, or were you just trying to muddy the water?

Ahh, so you were just trying to muddy the water with irrelevant trivia.

thats not written records..
Correct. And so, if the results thus gathered predate written records, they're considered to be from prehistoric ages.
