Virigina Festival of Reactionary, Politics & Ecology Part 2

     Frank Shugart mentions, over and over and over again, the temperature change over the last 12,000 years without ever mentioning the end of the last ice age.  It would be like pointing to stock market rises since Oct 15th, 1929, without ever mentioning the crash of Black Tuesday.  Shugart is misinforming people.  Shugart is encouraging people not to trust scientists on the topic of climate change, but "their own observations."  He deserves a dunce cap.  Here is a chart showing how unusual our particular spot is.  We are at the peak warmth moment of the last four ice ages.
