Well, you've cited one fact, not "facts." Reputable scientists don't generally group their research into convenient "myths" and "facts," but since we've established that Dr. Ball is a rhetorician and not a researcher, we'll set it aside.

I'm not a climatologist. However, I would be surprised if there WEREN'T times in our history when the Earth was warmer than it is now. It's a single data point in a complicated system--and temperature is in any case only one part of "climate," which is a good deal more complicated.

A better question, is if Dr. Ball has access to all of these "FACTS" that are apparently lost on the rest of the scientific community, why doesn't he publish his findings in a reputable journal?

I know the reason. I think you do too.
