With Tree Rings On Their Fingers

But how do we actually know, and how much do we actually know, about historic and prehistoric temperatures? In this Climate Discussion Nexus “Backgrounder” video John Robson examines the uses,…

Observation of the Earth shows that deforestation and urbanization cause three times more warming than CO2

There’s a far more scientific way of understanding the climate, and that involves observing the actual climate system directly from space or in situ.

The Greening Earth vs Enemies of Climate Truth

Earth benefits from increasing greening that reverberates through entire ecosystems! Rising CO2 and its fertilization effects makes ecosystems more robust and more resilient. Greening debunks claims by enemies of climate…
