A new study paints a picture of an Earth that is warmer than it has been in about 120,000 years and is locked into eventually hitting its hottest mark in more than 2mn years.
As part of her doctoral dissertation at Stanford University, Carolyn Snyder, now a climate policy official at the US Environmental Protection Agency, created a continuous 2mn year temperature record, much longer than a previous 22,000 year record. Snyder’s temperature reconstruction is published in the journal Nature.
Temperatures averaged out over the most recent 5,000 years - which includes the last 125 years or so of industrial emissions of heat-trapping gases - and are generally warmer than they have been since about 120,000 years ago or so, Snyder found.
