The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature team was formed in 2010 by sceptic Dr Richard Muller after so called "climategate" to investigate all the temperature data to try to disprove anthropogenic global warming. It was funded partially by the Koch Bros (Big Oil). After his team analysed all the data (including the Urban Heat Island effect), he was no longer a sceptic: See interview with Dr Muller: "I was wrong about global warming" youtube.com/watch?v=Sme8WQ…

This figure is a useful illustration of why an average temperature 🌡 increase of only a few degrees can have a huge increase in the frequency of heatwaves. Especially if the distribution spreads out. x.com/i/status/20427…










Retreating ice at Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier is exposing ancient tree stumps. Carbon dating places the stumps at around 1,000 to 2,000 years old. Forests once grew where ice now sits. Glaciers have been gradually pulling back since the end of the Little Ice Age, since the 1800s. As they recede, they're exposing land that was previously ice-free as recently as 1,000 years ago (when CO2 levels were far lower than they are today). We see this not only in Alaska, but across the Arctic. Retreating ice is uncovering soils, wood, and organic material. In Greenland, buried soils, plant remains, and insects have also been found beneath the ice. These are direct physical records of far warmer temperatures in the recent past. Warmth brings vegetation and biodiversity. Cold brings hardship and advancing ice sheets. It is obvious which conditions life prefers.



@Ninxit1 @NuinZeeland @ronald_brok Dat is een blogpost, niet gepeer-reviewed, niet in een wetenschappelijke journal, geüpload naar researchbureaus😂 Als u dit voor wetenschap aanziet, snap ik opeens volledig waar uw denkbeelden vandaan komen. Maar help me uit uw illusie: u baseert zich niet op wetenschap. 👋🏼
