That means there is a chance that Earth might not respond to current-day warming in the same way.
"Past climate is our best analog for future warming, and our results hint that land at these very high latitudes in the Arctic may warm even more than predicted in the coming century," Axford said. "But nothing in Earth's past is a perfect analog because what's happening today is totally unprecedented." |
Interesting. Totally wrong, but interesting.
From 21,000 BC to 11,000 BC the average global temperature rose 7 degrees F, much faster than recent
weather records indicate for the last 120 years
In addition, during the same time period, ocean levels rose
432 feet. In the last 120 years those levels rose
8 inches. This is a current rate of 6.7
inches/century as opposed to 4.32
feet/century. So much for human activity causing warming or ocean levels to rise.
What's "unprecedented" is the media and government hype over a myth
