Unhappiness at Greenbang

Only in the case of NBC, the quote could more accurately be put as, “Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing to the theme of ‘Green Week’ while its only programme on climate change dies in a round of staffing cuts.”

USGS Release: Getting Warmer? Prehistoric Climate Can Help Forecast Future Changes

The first comprehensive reconstruction of an extreme warm period shows the sensitivity of the climate system to changes in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels as well as the strong influence of ocean temperatures, heat transport from equatorial regions, and greenhouse gases on Earth's temperature [but nothing about any solar influence?].

New data allow for more accurate predictions of future climate and improved understanding of today's warming. Past warm periods provide real data on climate change and are natural laboratories for understanding the global climate system.
