Climate Change

August,

From all what science and research on past eras tells us, a rise of 0.8 °C in just 4 decades or so is racing down the autobahn with lightspeed - it represents a warming process taking place several hundred - sometimes it is even calculated as up to a thousand - times faster than in any previous eras about whose climatic conditions and changes we can make reasonably founded statements, basing on geologic findings for the most, or deep core drillings and deep ice drillings.

Taking a trip in the time machine and setting up sensors 200,000 years ago has little to do with it, August. Geology is a very interesting science, and there are other subbranches of sciences that focus on analysis of petrified seeds, for example - and maybe you underestimate how much such findings and the geological layers in which they are being found, can tell us about past conditions of climate and geography. Sediment analysis also can give us explicit information not only on the mix of agents in past atmospheres, but about the processes that made the content of the atmosphere change, and at what time. And both sciences combined, plus several others, allow us to make quite reasonable models of past climatic conditions.

In fact some researchers in these fields say it is easier to reconstruct past atmospheric and climatic conditions, than to predict the change of the present climate.
