Even PBS Knows We Have Experienced Warmer Times

Literature Text
Very recently, PBS allowed Skeptic Anthony Watts, of Watts Up With That, time to speak on Newshour. It is the first time in the 20-year history of the show, that a non-believer in the Unproven theory of 'man-made' global warming, has been allowed to speak on the nationally televised Public Broadcasting System.
The AGW faithful Howled For Blood. How *DARE* they allow a denier to speak!
Since then, PBS has done a number of mea culpas, trying to cover their ass for allowing any dissent at all from the Orthodoxy, to appear on their show. Secular Non-Diety help them, if they ever try again!
But if you look closely enough... they've let the Truth slip out from time to time.
Witness below. (Links to follow)

From PBS's Hot Planet- Cold Comfort, 2005:
Global temperatures naturally fluctuate slightly from year to year. However, in the past 10,000 years, there have been three relatively long global cold spells. The Little Ice Age (LIA) is the most recent and best documented, especially in Europe.
It may have had a greater effect on history than its predecessors because it immediately followed several centuries of unusually warm temperatures. Between 800 and 1200, Europe basked in a warm spell known as the "Medieval Warm Period" (MWP); temperatures were 2 to 3 degrees Celsius higher than they are today. People got used to the longer growing season and the new crops that a warmer climate allowed for. In addition, more areas were suitable for agriculture. Vineyards and farms flourished farther north and at higher elevations than they do today. Calmer sea conditions and reduced pack ice encouraged exploration and allowed the Vikings to sail and settle in new areas such as Iceland and Greenland.
However, by the late 1300s, temperatures started to drop. People were not quick to adapt to the changing weather — with disastrous consequences.
Fatal Harvest
During the LIA, summers were wet and unusually cold and the growing season was shortened. Widespread crop failure resulted in famine that killed millions of people. To avoid starvation, people would eat the planting seed for next season, which created more of a shortage the following year.
During the MWP European farmers primarily grew cereal grains such as wheat, barley, and rye, which flourished. But the long thin stalks of these crops made them vulnerable to the strong winds and heavy rainfall that came during the LIA. The temperature drop in northern Europe made it difficult to raise these grains and many farmers gave up trying. Less grain was produced, creating a severe shortage and raising prices.
Wine production in northern Europe also suffered. By 1310, those vineyards that had expanded further north in England, France and Germany during the warm period went out of production due to the cooling climate.
Stocks of hay for livestock plummeted too. Temperature-sensitive haygrass was often stunted or killed by the colder winters of intense frosts and deep snow cover. The grounds stayed frozen into late spring and the quick thaws often flooded the ground, drowning the new grass. Many animals died from starvation and disease.

Now, how odd is this? Skeptics have for decades been pointing to the MUCH WARMER Midieval Warm Period, and asking where the Hell all the predicted death, disaster and catastrophe is coming from, if we GO BACK to temperature that were 2 to 3 C warmer than they are now!
Does this make sense to ANY thinking person?

The Midieval Warm Period is increasingly being discovered to have been felt world-wide.

The full PBS article which I quoted is available here [link]
This is a PBS publication. I ask you to read it, all the way through, as it is primarily about the Little Ice Age, which was the Coldest period humans have experienced in the past 8000 years.
The LIA is what we just came out of 130 years ago. IT. WAS. COLD.
And the proponents of 'man-made' global warming, are telling you that YOU are responsible for the virtually ALL of the warming that has happened since the end of the LIA.
Tell me something, do you really want to go back to That!?!
PBS has done everything they can, to prevent you from hearing the Skeptic side of the story. Yet on their own site, they provide info which confirms Skeptic Claims!
Read, for yourself.
Think, for yourself.

Yeah, how dare the news media actually try to present both sides of an issue! Don't they know that only opinion left-of-center should be allowed on air?
