Davis in Texas Monthly
KHFA artist Lee Baxter Davis is currently spotlighted in the December Texas Monthly. "One of Texas's Greatest Artists Lives Quietly in East Texas" describes Davis's art career, going against the grain in the 1970s by making Figurative art, his self-described "swamp rabbit mysticism," and his years teaching at East Texas State University. The article names Davis as "an unrecognized master because he's never played to popular or critical tastes."

Current Bourbon show in ACTX
KHFA artist Matthew Bourbon, currently up in the gallery with Thousand Year View, discusses his career, artwork and creative process with Arts and Culture Texas. From the article: This tendency to try to slow things down, to try to blunt the edges of certainty, is not new in Bourbon's work. If anything, it's become distilled. "Everything is quick," he says, "and painting is slow. I value that slow looking. Historically we understand what that format is. It's a little bit known but always so foreign . . . there's something in there for me that feels important."

Artist Talk with Martin Delabano
We cordially invite you to an artist discussion with Martin Delabano about his newest solo exhibition, Sometimes just a line, sometimes the whole kit and kaboodle, on September 28 at 2:00 pm. Delabano's newest body of work at KHFA has been three years in the making, some of the work emerging from his sketchbook through sheer poetic improvisation. Other works he has struggled with over the past few years, always returning seeking new elements to exploit and conjure. Delabano's pieces are puzzles of lines and shapes, some abstract, some imagistic, but all conveying some type of human need, impulse or condition.

New works from Emmi Whitehorse
KHFA is pleased to present select works from New Mexico artist Emmi Whitehorse. Private viewings are available by appointment.
In Whitehorse's works we seek meaning in a world observed but unseen, a place of primal recognition and poetic elusiveness. Drawing upon her life experiences and Navajo heritage, the images tell the story of intimate knowledge of the Southwest landscape over time. For Whitehorse, nataure is synonymous with movement and change, but also a reminder of the fragility of human existence. The desert is marked by apparent contradictions; the elements constantly participate in a perceptual gambit of space, form and void, shadow and light.
Emmi Whitehorse was born in Crownpoint, New Mexico and is a member of the Navajo Nation. She received her MA in Printmaking with a minor in Art History from University of New Mexico. Whitehorse has exhibited nationally and internationally with such institutions as Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Snite Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame. She currently lives in Santa Fe.

"Murray Smither went into the prison in Huntsville not knowing what to expect. But the art appraiser knew the surroundings well—he was born and raised in the city about an hour north of Houston—and he was in good company. His friends, faculty at Sam Houston State University, had been called in to judge a prison art competition and invited him to join. The year was 1964." Read the rest in the Dallas Observer.

Terry Maker's intervention
The Denver Post recently discussed KHFA artist Terry Maker's new exhibit, Time Release, at the Fulginiti Pavilion Gallery—Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, on view until February 16. Notes Ray Mark Rinaldi, "by super-sizing pills, Maker glorifies them. They have a larger-than-life role in our routines, and she points out their abilities to make out bodies better. But these pills, of course, are too hard to swallow, and that invites us to look at their limits, at issues of dependency and necessity."

Observer review: Birmelin and Delabano
On the two current exhibitions at KHFA, Dallas Observer's Jeremy Hallock reflects how "every artist struggles to reach certain milestones, but viewers aren't always offered a glimpse of the journey. Of the two solo exhibitions at Kirk Hopper Fine Art, one focuses on the creative process; the other allows viewers to see an artist transition from organizing chaos to using a simpler, more straightforward approach."

Boom Town, an exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art curated by the Art Foundation, describes the tangle of networks—political, economical, geographical, social and historical—that shape Dallas' current cultural climate. The exhibited work is by a handful of exemplary artists with connections to Dallas whose various modes of expression evince equal parts conflict, anxiety, or refusal.

Haveron and Hopper visit Magee at The Hill
KHFA artist Bill Haveron and gallery owner Kirk Hopper paid a visit to James Magee at The Hill. For more than a quarter of a century, the American artist, James Magee, has been engaged in a massive, largely secret, almost solitary endeavor in the vast plains of West Texas. On 2,000 acres of desert land in Cornudas, 70 miles east of El Paso, James Magee has designed and built four identical buildings connected by causeways, a product of one man's infinite patience and unimaginable labor.

Bogdan Perzyński to show at Virtual Borders
Bogdan Perzyński, who will be showing later this month in our Noted space, is participating in an ongoing project with different stations, the first station being Feste Dilsberg, an old German castle-ruin from medieval times. This first presentation invited artists from different parts of the world to participate, asking the artists to send videos, animations, and sounds that are connected to the theme of the concept: borders as nonflexible barriers that restrain and give the illusion of keeping us out of harm's way.
KHFA is participating in East Dallas Gallery Day, a summer kick off event by nine established galleries located in the neighborhoods of Deep Ellum and Expo Park. The event will take place on June 16, 2012 from 12-9 pm. From 12-3 pm, gallery goers can grab a bite from Dallas' finest food trucks, open for business in front of the galleries. All participating galleries will serve complimentary ice cold beverages, including Brooklyn Lager courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery. There will also be 30 gift bags at each gallery including the official East Dallas Gallery Day t-shirt.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt makes appearance at Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio
Hunt spoke to the children at the Broadview Club as Taco Bell presented the organization with a check for $2 million
Author: Dave "Dino" DeNatale
CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns running back and Northeast Ohio native Kareem Hunt made a special visit to a group of area children on Tuesday.
Hunt stopped by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio's Broadway Club to lead a special session of the NFL's healthy lifestyle program, "NFL Play 60," which encourages children to take part in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day.
In addition to being a former standout at Willoughby South High School and the University of Toledo, Hunt is an alumnus of the Boys & Girls Clubs and appreciated being able to address the crowd of youngsters.
"I'm from Cleveland, so it means a lot for me to stand in front of you guys and hopefully be a role model and give back to you guys," Hunt said prior to answering questions from the crowd and leading them into activity.
The other highlight of Tuesday's event was Taco Bell's donation of $2 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio to help fund the organization's initiatives.
"I want you guys to be grateful for this because it's amazing how far it's coming," Hunt said to the kids about the presentation.
Hunt is in his third season as a member of the Browns. So far in 2021, he has rushed 19 times for 84 yards, a 4.4 yard average, and one touchdown. The 26-year-old also has four receptions for 30 yards.

Briefing: Apple acquires self-driving startup Drive.ai days before shutdown
|In Heavy Hitters, Up and Comers
|By Jill Shen
Apple buys self-driving startup Drive.ai just days before it would have died – The Verge
What happened: Apple on Tuesday confirmed it has acquired the struggling self-driving startup Drive.ai, which was set to shut down after four years. Drive.ai's Mountain View headquarters was to close and 90 employees laid off later this week. Apple is said to have purchased the company's assets including its autonomous cars, and hired a "handful" of its hardware and software engineers to work at the company's special projects division this month.
Why it's important: Drive.ai was founded in 2015 by former graduate students from Stanford's AI lab run by renowned AI expert and former Baidu chief scientist Andrew Ng. It developed self-driving software systems, using deep learning to avoid objects on the road. It later shifted focus to creating kits that converted regular cars into autonomous vehicles. In total, it raised about $77 million for a $200 million valuation, and was once considered one of the most promising self-driving car startups. Apple's autonomous driving efforts have stuttered over the years, and it cut more than 200 employees from its AV initiative Project Titan earlier this year, CNBC reported.

Philippines' Globe Telecom launches SEA-US subsea cable system
Previous Article SK Telecom successfully develops 5G signal booster
Next Article Huawei launches 5G-oriented mobile bearer solution 'X-Haul'
Globe Telecom, one of the Philippines' largest telecommunications providers, has launched the US$250 million Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable system, providing direct links between Davao City and the United States. The 14,500-kilometer cable system uses 100Gbps transmission technology to deliver 20 terabits per second capacity (Tb/s).
The SEA-US cable system was built by a consortium of seven international telecommunications companies and links five areas and territories that include Manado (Indonesia), Davao (Philippines), Piti (Guam), Oahu (Hawaii, United States), and Los Angeles (California, United States).
"It is important to keep our country competitive. We are sworn and bound by our duty to keep on improving the internet. This signals our entry towards first world internet," Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu said during its launching event on August 11 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
He said that the SEA-US submarine cable system would enable to support the growth of businesses in Mindanao and lessen the country's dependence on international cable systems for its internet connection.
"First world connection is more than just fast internet but is also about building a better nation that transcends borders and opens infinite possibilities for everyone," said Cu. "We are excited about this development because of the immense benefits that the SEA-US undersea cable system will bring to the Philippines.
Cu added: "For one, it will provide support for the expanding business requirement for data in the Mindanao region where the cable landing station is located and in the country as a whole. This will also ease our dependence on international cable systems and ensure the resiliency of the country's internet connectivity."
The SEA-US cable system is connected to the Globe cable landing station in Brgy. Talomo, Davao City, which also houses the power feed equipment necessary to run the system. Outside of Luzon, the undersea cable is the first direct connection of Globe to the United States via Guam, Hawaii, and California, offering faster transmission of data to the US.
It also bypasses the Taiwan earthquake zone to ensure uninterrupted connectivity and greater resiliency to prevent an incident similar to a major quake in 2006 where international cables were broken causing the Philippines to be isolated for a few days in terms of internet connection.
Aside from forming part of the SEA-US consortium, Globe is also a member of an international consortium of telecommunications and technology companies, operating the Southeast Asia-Japan Cable (SJC) system.
SJC is an 8,900-kilometer cable system linking seven territories that include Brunei, mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines, including the option to link with Thailand. The cable infrastructure is currently being upgraded to bring an increase of 6.5 Tb/s capacity with state of the art 100G technology.

Crowdfunding Comics
With crowdfunding platforms proliferating in every industry (from publishing to aerospace), it is no surprise that the comic book industry would launch their own crowdfunding platofrm. This month, iVerse Media introduces Comics Accelerator, which is a new comics-focused crowdfunding site with some key differences from Kickstarter (and other similar crowdfunding options).
Sure, Comics Accelerator takes a fee for processing donations and simplifying the process (5%), but it caps that fee at $2,500 so that projects that take in a remarkable amount of money still retain a significant portion of their donations. That would have helped Rich Burlew who launched a campaign on Kickstarter to create a graphic novel about his role-playing stick figure characters called The Order of the Stick, which raised over $1 million.
They also let project creators access those funds before the funding of their project is complete, unlike many platforms which wait for the funding cycle to complete before the money is available. It also offers digital delivery methods for donor rewards (so that e-comics can incentivize donors).
Of course, crowdsourcing and comics are often pairing up. Amazon Studios is making a surprising leap, however, on their crowdsourcing site. While Amazon Studios is mostly concerned with creating films, they are considering adapting one of their more promising screenplays into a graphic novel. The graphic novel will launch later this summer and the screenplay will continue to be groomed for Hollywood in the coming months.
Comics Accelerator was announced at Comic-Con last week and launches next Monday, July 23rd.
What do you think about the crowdfunding of comic books? What is good about launching a story in multiple mediums?

World should act together to avoid crisis: US
Lalit K Jha in Washington
As the momentum for upcoming G-20 Summit in London gains ground, the White House has said that world should act together to prevent reoccurrence of the global economic downturn being experienced now.
US President Barack Obama would be trying to emphasise for global effort to avoid a repeat of economic crisis during his meetings with the world leaders at the G-20 summit, White House spokesperson, Robert Gibbs said on Thursday.
"The President will talk to other nations of the G-20 about acting together in hopes of doing the same without, negotiating some specific commitment," he told reporters at his daily press briefing.
Two European countries � France and Germany � has already opposed the idea of a stimulus packages in their countries.
The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, said Europe has already invested a lot for the recovery and that the problem is not about spending more, but putting into place a system of regulations so that the economic and financial catastrophe.
"I think we're going to talk to other countries and other nations about continuing to do what's necessary to get through this crisis. But again, this isn't -- I also think it's important that we not think of this event as just simply one moment in time," Gibbs said.
"Obviously once we're done with the summit, people are going to have to evaluate both where their economies are and where the global economy is, and make changes," he said.
As such Obama looks forward to talking to leaders about a shared agenda to manage the crisis that the world is in and to also prevent a future crisis from happening.
"I think the summit will also speak about what we can do through international institutions to ensure that emerging economies either in the developing world or in places like Eastern Europe don't suffer catastrophically from either a burdening of their financial systems or a great change in world demand for exports and trade," Gibbs said.

David's commitment never falters......I think he has pretty much pledged himself to the woman in "The Next Murder You Hear" and never looked back....in spite of a few flings to the contrary.
But I think he now realizes there is more on the line...that his commitment is to Maddie, who he believes is the mother of his child. I think David Addison grows up a little during this plane ride.

Bert is a joy...and what a perfect foil for Agnes. I adore his hero worship for david.....yet he can also see when David is wrong, and can call him on it. And his smile can light up a room.....(it doesn't hurt that Curtis Armstrong is one of the nicest people I have ever met, either!)
I would be happy to add Bert to my flock of pesky little brothers.
Great descriptions Diane! And oh some more you lucky girl you on meeting Curtis! Too me he seems like a teddy bear type that you just want to hug him! LOL
*******Off topic,Curtis was in an episode of ICARLY last year, anyone see it? OH he is so funny in it!
You too, bees.

High School Student in NJ Wins Case to Keep 'Under God' in Pledge of Allegiance
Written by Thomas Lifson
A case filed by the American Humanist Association in New Jersey has gone down in flames, defeated by a high school student named Samantha Jones, backed by lawyers from the  Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, and  the Knights of Columbus and the American Legion, which acted in support. Fox News explains what happened:
The legal battle first began when an unnamed New Jersey family from Monmouth County, identified in court papers as John and Jane Doe and their child, sued the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District in February 2014, alleging the phrase "under God" in the pledge is discriminatory. The case was filed by the American Humanist Association, which claimed the recitation of the pledge violates Article 1 of the state's constitution. (snip)
Jones, who was attending another school, fought back, telling Fox News last November that the phrase "acknowledges that our rights don't come from the government but from a higher power, so they can't take away the rights."
She described America as a country of many beliefs and claimed all of those beliefs – including those of atheists – are protected by "one nation under God." (snip)
State Superior Court Judge David Bauman said during arguments in November that there wasn't any evidence the student in question had been "bullied, ostracized or in any way mistreated." But Bauman also noted during his questioning of district attorney David Rubin that district policy requires parents whose children don't say the pledge to furnish an explanation in writing.
At the time, Rubin said he wasn't aware of any cases in which parents had refused to supply an explanation and didn't know what the ramifications would be if they didn't. He accused the plaintiffs of filing a lawsuit claiming the pledge violates laws against the official establishment of religion "masquerading as an equal protection case."
School district officials had claimed they're simply following a state law requiring schools to have a daily recitation of the pledge. In a court filing, the district wrote that the plaintiffs can't claim a violation of equal protection laws because all students are treated equally by not having to recite the pledge.
The UK Daily Mail notes:
In a statement released Friday, she [Samantha] said: 'I'm so grateful the court decided that kids like me shouldn't be silenced just because some people object to timeless American values.'
'Ever since I was little, I've recited the Pledge of Allegiance because it sums up the values that make our country great. The phrase 'under God' protects all Americans-including atheists-because it reminds the government that it can't take away basic human rights because it didn't create them.'
Eric Rassbach, Deputy General Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty added: 'The message today is loud and clear: "God" is not a dirty word. The Pledge of Allegiance isn't a prayer, and reciting it doesn't magically create an official state religion.'
The atheist left will not give up, of course. If this case is not appealed, other cases will be filed, in search of sympathetic judges. Atheists abhor the notion that belief in God is normative.

Notre Dame-Green Pond junior Brendan Boyle has been one of the area's most prolific scorers this season, averaging between 26 and 28 points per game.
But on Saturday, Boyle showed he can do more than score.
In Notre Dame's 84-72 win over Southern Lehigh to clinch the top seed for this week's Colonial League tournament, Boyle dished 10 assists and in the words of his coach and father, Pat Boyle "dominated the game with his passing."
Other coaches in the league recognized Boyle's ability as a complete player and voted him the league MVP award.
Bangor's CJ Miles (5) looks to make a move while defended by Notre Dame Green Pond's Chase Marcks (42) during a recent Colonial League boys high school basketball game. Miles was a unanimous first-team selection on the league's all-star team.
In addition to recognizing Boyle as MVP, the Colonial League Boys Basketball Coach Association recognized Bangor's C.J. Miles and Palmerton's Kody Kratzer as unanimous first-team selections along with Boyle.
Palmerton's Kody Kratzer celebrates after becoming the 11th player in Bombers' boys basketball history to reach 1,000 points. He also can celebrated being a first-team and unanimous all-league selection.
Joining those three on the first team were Catasauqua's Derek Troxell, Southern Lehigh's Daryl Coleman, Wilson's Na'shawn Jones. Jones is a junior and the rest are seniors. Boyle, Coleman and Kratzer are all repeat first-team selections.
The second team features: Liam Carey (Palisades), Logan Rickert (Notre Dame — Green Pond), Quintin Stephens (Salisbury), Matt Tankred (Southern Lehigh), Dylan Witkowski (Northwestern Lehigh) and Gabe Zieba (Bangor).
The honorable mention list features Owen Buck (Palmerton), Nick Henry (Northwestern) and Sean Howlett (Notre Dame–Green Pond).
Northwestern Lehigh's Nick Henry (left), was an honorable mention selection on the Colonial League all-star team while Catasauqua's Derek Troxell (right), 31, was a first-team choice.
With the exception of Troxell, all of the players honored on the first team, second team and honorable mention lists will be participating in the Colonial League tournament which begins with quarterfinals Monday night.

Roger Pielke Jr. describes the distorting of climate science
By Larry Kummer, Editor / 6 Comments	/ 18 November 2017 11 May 2019
Summary: Scientists and journalists play a vital role in the public policy debate about climate change, explaining the reports of the major climate agencies. Here Roger Pielke Jr. describes an example of how they too often misrepresent those findings, distorting the debate and feeding the public's loss of confidence in science as an institution.

Lightly edited.
Welcome to issue #7 of my occasional newsletter on climate and energy issues. As a reminder, my day-to-day research or writing is focused on sports governance and various issues of science policy. But I've written a fair bit on the topics of climate and energy over the past 25 years, including two recent books and a boatload of academic papers, and I'm paying attention. So caveat lector {reader beware}! …
The US National Climate Assessment and Weather Extremes.
The 4th US National Climate Assessment {NCA} was published a few weeks ago, and it is worth reviewing what it says about trends in extreme weather events. In short, the NCA supports arguments I've been making for many years.
"Cold extremes have become less severe over the past century."
"Changes in warm extremes are more nuanced than changes in cold extremes." (Yes, you read that correctly.)
Here are trends in cold spells, warm spells and heat waves 1900 to present from the report.
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC's) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) concluded that it is very likely that human influence has contributed to the observed changes in frequency and intensity of temperature extremes on the global scale since the mid-20th century. …In general, however, results for the contiguous United States are not as compelling as for global land areas , in part because detection of changes in U.S. regional temperature extremes is affected by extreme temperature in the 1930s."
Emphasis added, and yes, that means weak attribution. {Ed. – See the graphs!}
"Figure 6.4. Observed changes in cold and heat waves in the contiguous United States. The top panel depicts changes in the frequency of cold waves; the middle panel depicts changes in the frequency of heat waves; and the bottom panel depicts changes in the intensity of heat waves. …"
"…there is still low confidence that any reported long-term (multidecadal to centennial) increases in TC {tropical cyclone} activity are robust, after accounting for past changes in observing capabilities …
"A particular challenge in quantifying the existence and intensity of {tornado} events arises from the data source …
"Analysis of {winter} storm tracks indicates that there has been an increase in winter storm frequency and intensity since 1950. …
"drought statistics over the entire CONUS have declined …
"no detectable change in meteorological drought at the global scale. …
"Western North America …where determining if observed recent droughts were unusual compared to natural variability was particularly difficult …
"IPCC AR5 did not attribute changes in flooding to anthropogenic influence nor report detectable changes in flooding magnitude, duration, or frequency …
"{In the US| increasing & decreasing flooding magnitude but does not provide robust evidence that these trends are attributable to human influences… no formal attribution of observed flooding changes to anthropogenic forcing has been claimed …
"a number of precipitation metrics over the continental United States has been examined; however trends identified for the U.S. regions have not been clearly attributed to anthropogenic forcing …"
The data says what it says. There is precious little evidence that extremes have become worse in the US since at least 1900, with the exception of more winter storms since 1950 and overall fewer cold spells. Attribution {for these trends} is weak to nonexistent.
Despite the evidence there is a drumbeat of news stories and various claims that weather disasters are getting worse. For instance, the New York Times article on the release of the report contained this statement…
"In the United States, the report finds that every part of the country has been touched by warming, from droughts in the Southeast to flooding in the Midwest …"
{In it} Michael Mann, the same professor suing his critics for being wrong about scientific claims says this:
"Whether we're talking about unprecedented heat waves, increasingly destructive hurricanes, epic drought and inundation of our coastal cities, the impacts of climate change are no longer subtle"
Both the NYT characterization of the report and Mann's claims are irrefutably incorrect according to the report. These are just a few of many similar examples of claims that are contrary to the NCA related to extreme weather.
Claiming that the weather has gotten worse is today an important cultural shibboleth related to climate science. It's not supported by the evidence but it serves an important role in the political debate over climate. Another weakened norm, I suppose.

Songhees,
Since I disagree with the premise, I'm uninterested in such material. The IPCC, the major climate agencies, and the peer-reviewed literature provide more than adequate information.
timothy mckeever
I am under the impression climate change is about "Mean average temperature increase" globally.
I notice that most of the climate deniers, seem fixated with localized weather patterns.My uncle who farms in Minnesota being one of them. I guess you could say that there isn't much difference in the contiguous United States, but that doesn't explain glacial calving in Antarctica, or loss of polar ice.
As an eminent scientist, would you say that a loss of one million acres per year of rainforest to logging has had no effect on weather patterns? It has been well documented that the Amazon has influenced weather as far north a Washington state.
As far as I have been able to determine, nobody has said much about "extremes", but rather "intensities" of certain types of weather. I believe there is a difference.
Maybe you should go and visit some of the Inuit villages that are going to need to move because of increased sea levels and tell them, "Hey, there hasn't been any real change in extremes since 1900." It is one thing to sit in a nice clean office that is air-conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter and thumb your nose at facts, but quite a different proposition when you must live out in the open environment and cope with what is happening. The biggest deception in human history is not about climate change, but rather how specious arguments have supplanted evidence. Everyone is entitled to their own "opinion", but not to their own "truth".
Seldom have I seen so many factual errors in one comment.
False. I doubt you can find any support for that belief in the work of the IPCC or major climate agencies — since they say the exact opposite. First, climate change is about the many aspects of climate — not just temperature. Which is why discussions refer to "climate change" not "global warming" (or in your words, "Mean average temperature increase"). Second, most of the data collected is geographically specific, as is a large fraction of the research about climate dynamics and effects.
"I notice that most of the climate deniers, seem fixated with localized weather patterns."
False. Most "deniers" discuss the greenhouse effect and problems with global temperature data.
"but that doesn't explain glacial calving in Antarctica"
Meaningless. It's not clear from the available evidence if the total mass of the antarctic ice cap is stable or decreasing. Also, the rate of "calving" by itself means nothing. An increase in the mass of the ice cap would increase the rate of calving (i.e., faster growth, more calving), as would other factors.
"nobody has said much about "extremes", but rather "intensities" of certain types of weather."
Grossly false. To pick just one, see some of the many predictions made after Katrina for more major hurricanes.
"Maybe you should go and visit some of the Inuit villages that are going to need to move because of increased sea levels and tell them, "Hey, there hasn't been any real change in extremes since 1900." "
Maybe you should try and relate your statements to something actually in the post, rather than give strawman attacks.
"Everyone is entitled to their own "opinion", but not to their own "truth"."
Since most of what you've said is false, that is good advice — that you should follow.
John Chism
There is a difference between skepticism and alarmism.
Those Inuit villages were established during the Little Ice Age when it was much colder for nearly 300 year's, during a Solar Minimum. The Solar Maximum started and ended that Cold Period that has Warmed ever since then up to about 18 Year's ago where a Hiatus of Global Temperature has occurred. But even that is false.
Globally there has been a removal of weather monitoring stations in the colder area's of the Northern Hemisphere that leave the warmer area's monitoring stations as a majority, that has biased the Global Temperature to Warming, where reality is a Global Cooling within that Hiatus. The Polar Ice has been increasing for over 20 year's and when Ice is put into water the level of the water is displaced upward effecting the shoreline where those villages are, that you speak of.
There is zero evidence of CO2 as a trace gas effects on temperature. That's where you have to look at the bigger picture over the past 4 billion years of Earth having an atmosphere. The only real effects of increased CO2 is Bio-Mass sequestration creating a Greener Flora and more populated Fauna Earth.
"There is zero evidence of CO2 as a trace gas effects on temperature."
All you need do is prove that the world's scientists are wrong — then fame and fortune awaits!
"Those Inuit villages were established during the Little Ice Age"
Do you have a supporting cite for that? It's a plausible theory, but let's have evidence before accepting it.
"during a Solar Minimum. The Solar Maximum started and ended that Cold Period"
That's a theory, and one held by a minority of scientists studying the LIA. Do not state it as fact.
"The Polar Ice has been increasing for over 20 year's"
No, it has not.
