In this first episode of our Five-Minute Facts series, Pastor Paul Blair challenges the narrative of modern climate alarmism by reminding us of a fundamental truth: climate has always changed. Long before carbon emissions, policy debates, and global summits, natural warming and cooling cycles shaped our planet’s history—and they still do.

This episode explores striking evidence of past warm periods, from ancient forests emerging under retreating glaciers to Viking barley farms in Greenland, and what it reveals about today’s climate conversations.

Pastor Paul walks through:
The Roman Warm Period, Medieval Warm Period, and Little Ice Age using data from Ljungqvist’s 2010 reconstruction of temperatures over the last 2,000 years.

The discovery of preserved forests beneath Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier proves that warm periods predate modern warming.

Norse farming in Greenland during the Medieval Warm Period and their adaptation to later cooling.

NASA, NOAA, and IPCC data confirm the limited influence of solar cycles on long-term climate.
