Mongabay: Average global temperatures are now higher than any point during the past 4,000 years despite being in the midst of what should be a cooling interval, reports a new study published in the journal Science. The research - based on ice cores and other data from 73 sites sites around the world - constructs a temperature record for the past 11,300 years. It finds that the current global temperature is warmer than 70 to 80 percent of the era since the dawn of human civilization. "We already knew...
