Studies published Wednesday provided stark evidence that the rise in global temperatures over the past 150 years has been far more rapid and widespread than any warming period in the past 2,000 years.

. The finding shows just how dramatically today’s global rise in temperatures differs from previous periods of temperature change, the scientists said.

For the Nature Geoscience study, the researchers charted global temperature averages over time, and then compared the data to a set of climate simulations to figure out what might have driven the changes. Neukom and his colleagues found that theThe researchers also found that the main cause of temperature fluctuations changed over time. Prior to 1850, fluctuations were mainly linked to volcanic eruptions, which cooled the planet by; after 1850, greenhouse gas emissions took the wheel.

Serrato Marks said the records the researchers used could be incomplete, adding that subsequent research could benefit from more robust data. “Future studies will be strengthened even more with data from the Southern Hemisphere and more high-resolution data,” she said.

ill bet those 2k old records were hard to track down since the thermometer was not even an idea then

It’s called Mother Nature

These people cant even tell you if its going to rain tamar.

What about 2001 years. 2000 years is less than the blink of an eye in the history of earth.

CurtisSmith68 Do you think Trump and his Admin. Will listen to the experts ...that’s a big NO. They would have to continue funding the EPA and other experts in their research in climate change..... And funding other www

👍

Humans are progressing. The Earth will change with human actions as we progress civilization. Forrest will be altered, grasslands will be altered, the climate will be altered. It's a side effect of civilization.

I remember reading about all those cool temperature and atmospheric measurements that Archimedes didn't do...

YOU MEAN LIKE WHEN AL GORE SAID, WE WOULD BE UNDER WATER BY YEAR 2000!!! YOUR SO CORRUPT NBC NEWS!!!!

It will be real SAD for the next generation 🙁

What caused temperature changes 2,000 years ago?

Not to mention carbon, the key factor. Image from NASA.

We who believe in science know we passed the point of no return and literally nothing is being done to slow it down.

If only our President believed in Climate damage.

Its too late now. We were supposed to stop this by the year 2000. Now look! The entire east and west coast is underwater. New york is gone!

We will be scorched to Death

We have an entire political party in this country whose mission is to deny this is happening. They don’t care about the future of humanity.

No matter how hard you fear monger, throwing more money to the tune of billions will not fix the problem.

Ideological mob science is just that folks...

A pair of new studies provides evidence that the rise in global temperatures over the past 150 years has been more widespread than any warming period in the past 2,000 years — a finding that undercuts claims that today’s warming isn’t necessarily result of human activity. (2/5)

Actually , not true Its a lie gullible people believe. They should be worried about what happens after the next peak

RandiRhodes Science-climate change doesn’t care if you believe in it or not - it is here!!!!

RandiRhodes

genevieveisgg Looks like the tipping point has been breached

Republicans

So let's recap our current climate. East coast had the hottest days last week followed by heavy rains. D.C. flooded this year and the subways in New York had water pouring in. Will you wait for the water to come?

If AOC would shut her mouth, temperatures would cool down.

Y2k bug warming

They weren't recording temps 2000 years ago.

Drill baby drill!! Clean coal, less regulation. maga

Tells us Bernie...

Looks like I need to get into the air conditioning business as soon as possible.

“in the past 2,000 years”. When did the glaciers melt?

Wait- we were keeping track of weather 2000 years ago?

LeslieMarshall They studied 2000 years of climate data... we do not have 2000 years of accurate climate data. We do not even have 50 years of accurate climate data. So... what was the temperature on July 25, 1020?

Bull Its called summer and I remember hotter ones

Temps will continue to warm and cool, sea water will rise and fall despite anything puny humans can come up with.

Wait... 'in the absence of direct temperature information'? Call me a skeptic!

We better do something quick. According to AOC 's brilliant calculations and scientific research, we only have 11 years to live! Time for radical action! OMG!!!! LOL

You forgot to JimInhofe.

Medieval warm period disagrees.

Countries need to unit in combating this imminent threat on our planet! And something needs to be done ASAP. ClimateActionNow

2000 of 4.5 billion is a very tiny percentage of time.

Ha Ha NBC still pushing the climate change hoax.

The climate changed without humans so imagine the impact industrialization has.

😞😞😞

Author did not identify which studies, nor where is was published, if findings and assertions are peer reviewed or challenged... she just assumes that it's real science and runs with it because it fits her world view. This is poor journalism. Give us a way to check your data.

Yawn

What if what we are doing on our planet is what happened on mars

igorvolsky Hmm. Why doesn't the data support that? In fact, when you ignore the FAKED data from NOAA and NASA, there isn't anything in increase in recent history.

These researchers report their findings like Dems do their political news, i.e., a small bit of fact packed with large amounts of hyperbole & sensationalism. One can do that once or twice, but after repeated doomsday announcements that don't pan out, it's not credible any more.

Out of all the tweets I've read today this is seriously by far the most importent.

igorvolsky Hogwash

Time to cull the herd?

The new studies provide evidence that the rise in global temperatures over the past 150 years has been more widespread than any warming period in the past 2,000 years — a finding that undercuts claims that today’s warming isn’t necessarily the result of human activity. (2/5)

While that may be true, it's also true that the climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years and that the climate has changed just as dramatically, if not more so, on multiple occasions throughout that 4.5 billion years.

No question.. something is not right.

Global this ......

Yep, and it's probably going to get warmer, but we are humans, we can adapt. Sit back and watch the earth go through its natural cycles. Can't stop it, can't change it, just deal with it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Trump would deny he has kids if he thought his base’d like his comments!I never thought I’d ever loathe any politicians as much as I loathe Trump & our new PM Johnson. I hate wasting my time on such men but they’re abhorrent & so bad for the world. God help us all

Lol And if they don’t say that their funding will be cut off and they won’t be able to have those nice labs to work in

How much money will is cost to change that?

Duh

Bull shit

They can not say that for sure. It is mostly speculation.

Because we had the technology to track temperatures 2000 years ago😂😂😂😂😂

2000 years? Looks like some people are running out of grant money.

Please spare us data from the people who told us HillaryClinton would win. FakeNewsMedia forever

Thats nice to bad 2000 years is fuck all to the earth. manmadeclimatechangeisahoax

Russian collusion is proven false so next narrative is global warming and the “new deal”. fakenews

Not only is the Temperature rising but, natural forces are occurring more frequently and more violently, which means the Earth is changing in a natural way.

We need to trigger an Ice Age to save the planet! ✌🏽

who cares about *2,000 years'? you could as well say 'yesterday'
