New paper about reconstructing climate of the past 2000 years

7/24/2019

2 Comments

 
Our new paper, out today in Nature Geoscience, explores global-mean temperature over the past 2000 years, reconstructed using seven different statistical methods: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-019-0400-0.

Results show:
1) The second half of the 20th century warmed more rapidly than any previous time in the last 2000 years, putting the extraordinary rate of current climate change into a long-term context.
2) Before the industrial revolution, volcanic eruptions were the most important forcing of multi-decadal climate variations during this time period.
3) Climate models capture the magnitude of volcanic-forced cooling and natural variability well.


This study was an international collaboration which used a global collection of well-vetted proxy records (such as tree rings, corals, and ice cores) to reconstruct Common Era climate, led by Raphael Neukom at the University of Bern.  Coauthors of this study at Northern Arizona University include Darrell Kaufman, Nicholas McKay, and myself.

Our climate is changing and that is inevitable, especially that we are living in a fast changing evolution of life. If we will read the books that talks about weather and climate we will notice the changes that happened over the years and that is really amazing. It is amazing in a way that we did not expect. An expectation that will give us chills, chills that are out of this world. Reading will always give us additional knowledge.

Before winning Robux, we need to know what Roblox and Robux are because many of us don't know it.
