The Global Warming pundits don't cease telling us that the world was colder during Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but it's not necessary to have a PhD in climatology to know that it's false, it's enough to read the works of ancient Greeks, Romans or North Europeans. Greeks and Romans eg were clothed with togae , hardly a warm clothing!
and I don't see how Civilization and Agriculture could have thrived in Europe between the XVth and the XVIIIth Centuries ( hence before the industrial revolution)with already very high densities of population in the Low Countries if the climate had been much colder than today, knowing they had no central heating, no proper medicine, no means whatsoever to protect themselves against intense cold.
They were certainly more sturdy than we are, but no Inuits either!

So you don't believe the period called the Little Ice Age actually happened?

I don't know what a global warming pundit is, but only a drooling cretin would say a stupid thing like "the world was colder during Antiquity and the Middle Ages". There was a brief (about 400 years) cooldown in the North Atlantic region during the Middle Ages, but it has nothing to do with global warming.
