"I love this graph.
It has issues because it compresses 500my of climate history into just four
inches but, it’s beautiful. This graph represents one of the great scientific
achievements of the twentieth century.
Think about it. In 1957/1958, when The International Geophysical Year was
declared by the UN, none of this was known. A global network of standardized
weather measurement stations wasn’t established until 1880.
* Which is why the Fossil Fuel Elites used their political leverage during the
Trump years to have global warming measured from 1880. 1880 was the hottest
year of the 19th century, by a lot.
How much has the Earth warmed up since the “preindustrial” period? —
Surprisingly it’s hard to get a straightforward answer to that question.
So, in 1958 we had less than 100 years of standardized global weather
measurements and NO understanding of the Earth’s paleoclimate record. In just
over 60 years we have done an analysis of the Greenland Ice Cores.
And, we have done an analysis of the earth’s paleoclimate record for the last
500 million years. Which generated the graph I love so much."
