If it's possible to read it that way I didn't realise and thoroughly apologise. I certainly don't want you to leave the field and the reference to your post is only supposed to point out that there is a relevance, more widely recognised than just in my rantings, of the climate debate to medieval studies, and that the MWP is considered a publicity problem by pro-action researchers, all of which I think it does very neatly. If I'd realised it was possible to take it this way I'd never have linked to you, as the post would stand fine by itself without that.<br /><br />I also think you may have misunderstood my argument, which is not that it's <i>irrelevant</i> that the MWP occurred, but <i>undeniable</i>; my disagreement is with the idea that this has any relevance to policy about the current climate situation. I suppose from the way that you've read this post that we disagree about that, but it would be far from the only political thing about which we disagree, none of which should allow me to attack your credentials as medievalist and that wasn't in any way my intent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-79330483945959035512010-01-08T11:59:21.587-06:002010-01-08T11:59:21.587-06:00Hmmm, re-reading that I notice that the quotation ...Hmmm, re-reading that I notice that the quotation marks around "thinking people" look like scorn quotes.
