But he doesn’t deny climate change, he denies that man has such a big influence on him. Or maybe he denies the theory that nature itself is not able to regulate temperature. After all, uncomfortable for a human does not mean uncomfortable for nature as a whole.
Well I look forward to his contribution questioning the established science in the Journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. He should direct his profound expertise and diligent work appropriately.
Right - we humans are generally most concerned with what’s “comfortable”. That’s a fun spin on “being able to live”. The earth will be fine with or without us, we’re just doing a good job of shooting for “without”.
So we basically understand “weather” for roughly 8ppm of earth’s life. That said, we can infer much amount about climate (not weather, climate) from much older archeological and even paleontological evidence.
Here is a graphic to help visualize the unprecedented rate of temp change. Data source for temperature is cited and likely errors are explained. https://xkcd.com/1732/
It’s actually worse than that. We are not in the predicted path, we are in one of the worst estimated predicted paths. Understandable as that comic was made in 2012.
Yeah, you’re right. It would be even more obvious now if it were redone. I specifically like that one because it invites people to scroll through the time axis slowly and on a linear scale. It makes the recent changes more real than the same graph fitted to a screen and seen all at once.
They cite their sources. I got paywalled by the Marcott paper, but that seems like it has data you’re looking for. I think most of the referenced links are as follows:

Per NASA, accurate global readings go back to 1880 and historical localized temperatures go back to the 1650s

My brother in Christ. We’re supposed to be in an Ice Age now.
The trailing end of an ice age anyway.
Probably the last one for the next 200,000 years or so…
We are in an ice age right now.
Is this comment satire?
Not even Lemmy is safe from climate change deniers.

You might wanna do some research into why ice ages and interglacial periods happened.
Spoiler alert: it’s the composition of the air.

Nature doesn’t do shit this funny.

Dang climate change denial is one thing but speaking ill of xkcd on the internet are you a fucking madman?
