I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Amphibians prefer warmer climates and so do humans. How many frogs do you see hopping around in the wintertime? The polar bear population is increasing. Why not just stop worrying about these things and enjoy the more active sun while it lasts?

"I believe that the recent warmth

was probably matched about 1000 years ago."

Briffa is admitting to the Medieval Warm Period

And reading those emails, there is no consensus on AGW. In addition as recently as 1000 years ago, same temps as today, and we also know there were many other warm & cool periods throughout earth's history

I'm not sure what you are asking for clerification on. Could you be specific?

If people want to see the truth about polar bear population just google Polar Bear population stable or on the rise. As for warming being benificial for us, all you need to do is look at what was going on during the mideval warming period. Much more land was available to us for farming than is now. Vikings farmed as well in land that is now locked in ice.

Could you please let us know where you are getting your information? Please provide a reference.

The Polar BEar population is actually increasing. What I don't get is this. Peopel claim global warming is hurting the p-bears. If that is true what happended to them during the mideval warming period when temps were higher than they are today? That is unless people actually think p-bears magically popped up after that was over. Globla temps rising a bit woudl be benificial to us. The proof is in the mideval records. Farming was possible in areas which are too cold today.

Thats called adaption. Life explodes during warmer periods. Though im not sure if Polar bears are on the increase, im not sure that warming is going to be bad for us, except the possibility of coastal towns/cities getting flooded.

Humans pref any climate they can live in. We are found all over the world.

the gop and the rushies will tell you that the loss of the amphibians due to global warming means nothing ... same for the polar bear and the pollinator bee ... but others will tell you that the loss of all amphibians is a significant because it shows that life is only possible in our environment which cannot be changed very much ... still others will not believe that the amphibians were killed by global warming and have not googled 'global warming frog' .. and never want to
