Likewise a period called the Medieval Maximum, which lasted from 1100 to 1250, apparently had higher levels of sunspots and associated solar activity, and intriguingly coincides (at least partially) with a period of warmer climates on Earth called the Medieval Warm Period. There are 5000 year old archeological sites at 5000 to 5500 feet elevation in the British Isles indicating there were ancient periods much much warmer than in any time during recorded history. Since I've read sunspot data goes back to Galileo's day, I wonder why the climate models DON'T incorporate it. THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. For anyone reading this, any comments and especially any URL's to expert opinion on this would be greatly appreciated. I believe that global warming and the "solutions" are really about shifting the tax system to one based on energy consumption. That is what I infer from why global warming advocates and gov'ts favor cap and trade systems over carbon sequestration-its all about the money.
