They were able to compare this to previous Holocene warm periods with direct observation, right?
The planet is on track to heat up at a much faster rate than scientists have previously predicted, meaning a key global warming threshold could be breached this decade, according to a new study co-authored by James Hansen — the US scientist widely credited with being the first to publicly sound the alarm on the climate crisis in the 1980s.
That would be the same guy who has consistently been wrong with his doommongering
In the paper, published Thursday in the journal Oxford Open Climate Change, Hansen and more than a dozen other scientists used a combination of paleoclimate data, including data from polar ice cores and tree rings, climate models and observational data, to conclude that the Earth is much more sensitive to climate change than previously understood.
“We are in the early phase of a climate emergency,” according to the report, which warns a surge of heat “already in the pipeline” will rapidly push global temperatures beyond what has been predicted, resulting in warming that exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in the 2020s, and above 2 degrees Celsius before 2050.
Yada yada yada. Always with the scary prognostications, and never anything about how all Warmists should practice what they preach. It always ends with more government.
Some other scientists, however, have cast doubt on the paper’s conclusions that climate change is accelerating faster than models predict.
I’m sure CNN reached out to those scientists and will give us their thoughts, right?
Crickets. Can’t have people disagreeing with the doomsday cult that has become embedded with the Credentialed Media and politicians.
