The second green line is the “Late Antique Ice Age” which caused Rome to COLLAPSE. Between 150AD and 650AD the Climate in Europe got progressively COLDER. The population fell by about 50%.

What you THINK, seems to depend on what you SEE in the graph above.

This estimate pegs it at around 12 Hiros per Second currently. I think it/s closer to 15.

NASA/GISS, NOAA, and the Climate Moderates like Berkeley Earth AREN’T SURE yet.

“2023 was a highly unusual year in several respects, including record warmth in most ocean basins and a large deviation from the historical trend.”

Warmth in 2023 greatly exceeded expectations, and was much stronger than normal this early in an El Niño.

“Some studies have recently argued…
