Description
Summary:How does climate change today compare with climate change in the past? Key Points Climate scientists reconstruct the Earth’s climate history by studying proxy records including ice cores, corals, and tree rings. These records show natural variability in the Earth’s climate such as distinct colder glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods. One particularly well-documented example is the Younger Dryas. Recent human-induced climate change is outpacing examples of historical climate change.
