Record Breaking Weather

[Wonky3]

You know. If I went back on this thread I could find You saying the EXACT SAME THING in response to ME saying YES current record breaking weather events of THIS  frequency do indeed indicate more that you want to just call weather.

You have said this EXACT SAME THING BEFORE........

Wonky.... We have only been keeping reliable records for about 100 years (maybe less). For all we know the hottest years may have been in 1150.

And you were wrong then as well as now.... Every time you have said We have only been keeping reliable records for about 100 years I posted information showing otherwise.

 It's like you maybe understood then but your brain keeps resetting to the default position  that we don't have reliable records EXCEPT for about the last 100 years.

Anyway here we go again.


In recent years, scientists have also identified ways to study weather patterns from thousands of years ago. One 2013 study, for example, extended temperatures as far back as the end of the last Ice Age—more than 11,000 years ago—by examining oxygen isotopes in fossilized ocean shells. Bubbles of ancient atmosphere trapped in ice can be used to gauge carbon dioxide levels from millions of years ago; fossilized shells preserve information about ocean conditions; and plant and animal microfossils from oceans can tell scientists a great deal about prehistoric temperatures, ocean currents, and wind patterns.



Cold Climates, Warm Climates: How Can We Tell Past Temperatures?

For example, ice sheets form as snow builds up, with each year's snowfall preserved as a single, visible layer. There are measurable chemical differences in snow formed at different temperatures, so ice cores provide a record of polar temperature going back around 250,000 years for Greenland and 800,000 years for Antarctica.

Yearly banding is also found in fossilised corals and lake sediment deposits, and each band has a specific chemistry that reflects the temperature when it formed. Growth rings in tree trunks can be wider or thinner depending on the climate at the time of growth, so fossilised trees can reveal the length of growing seasons. And fossilised or frozen pollen grains allow scientists to determine what plants were growing in the past, which can give us a good idea of the climate at the time.
Marine sediment cores provide temperature records spanning millions of years. They contain the fossilised shells of tiny marine creatures that preserve a chemical record of the sea temperature when they lived.
To make their temperature reconstructions as accurate as possible scientists have calibrated each proxy by testing how it changes in response to changing temperature. However, the further back in time we look, the more sparse the proxy temperature records become. Therefore the most reliable way to work out past temperatures is to combine different proxies – and to use data from many locations to screen out local temperature fluctuations.

 You just shot down your own argument!
What you posted was about CLIMATE. 
Weather is what we will have tomorrow.

It went over your head once again. What I posted was about how science can and does determine what kind of climate we had in the past.
Because you repeatedly claim there is no reliable info past "about 100 years".
I repeatedly prove that's not true. But you are so stuck in the mud with your theory that we don't know shit about the past I prove we do even knowing it's pointless.



noun: weather
1.
the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.

Right. Weather is what happens at a time a place. When it happened a long time ago and science makes conclusions about information revealed, it was about the climate. 
Now, if science could narrow it down to a week in September 1305, it would be about WEATHER.

Your semantics argument is just stupid.

When all else fails, suggest the other person is stupid.
