If folk memory is anything to go by, global warming in its most dreaded form is a thing of the past.

The universality of flood myths is widely known, but fewer people are aware that traditions of unbearable heat, often leading to a devastating Weltbrand, are just as ubiquitous. Although many reports do not identify the cause of the steep rise in temperature or the wildfire associated with the ‘age of myth’, others persistently attribute it to a group of phenomena we may conveniently call ‘anomalous suns’.

Generally, the sources trace the erstwhile emission of relentless heat to four solar properties, singly or combined, all of which seem equally bizarre when applied to the quotidian sun.

Physicist Stephan Fuelling says: “I think that these are just that, ‘myths.’ If the sun had a strong output burst in human history, then this should have been recorded in the ice records, the activity of the sun relates to the formation of certain isotopes, which would point to such an event. To my knowledge, no such event ever occurred. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it can’t be proven, then it is a myth.”

Robert Anderson responds: “I don’t think you can discount mythologies that are so widespread. Science is finding that myths often reflect real events. I know that Stephan rejects the whole electric universe position so his response is not surprising, but I also am aware of the research of Dr. Paul La Violette, an astrophysicist at Portland State who has found ice core evidence of such events, though his theory is that such events were caused by cosmic ray outbursts from the center of the galaxy, all of which coincide with climatic changes on earth. Discussion of his work can be found on youtube and gaiamtv sites.”
