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." |
Wow ... love the word unprecedented. Kind of like the unprecedented growth of legalized hunting of hundreds of polar bears each year, unprecedented global human longevity, unprecedented global crop yields, and the unprecedented lack of reporting of the current 7-year cooling trend.
