David, Your link is to a press release from the Hudson Institute. It's written by Dennis Avery, who co-wrote the book "Unstoppable Global Warming" with Fred Singer and is a lame sales pitch.
This PR stuff is not science and shows Singer's usual lack of interest in truth. For example, Avery makes a reference to work by Constance Millar which suggests that in one location, trees grew above the present limit of growth at the tree line. There's no reference given, but I think Avery is refering to Millar's report found here: http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/millar/psw_2006_millar027.pdf As usual, great cherry picking of data from just one location, which does not prove anything about global conditions and is not new, as others have found that local drought conditions were much worse back then. If anything, this is a warning that future warming might well produce such extreme drought conditions as the Earth is expected to warm further. I haven't read Singer and Avery's book, but I would expect it to be like the crap Singer presented at the fake climate conference the Heartland Institute put on, the so-called "NOT IPCC" report. Please post some science next time. E.
