Scientists analyzed dinosaur tooth enamel to reconstruct Mesozoic atmospheric CO2 levels and photosynthesis, revealing that Earth's atmosphere contained significantly more CO2 and had higher plant productivity during that era, providing new insights into ancient climate dynamics.
A study using Fennoscandian tree-ring anatomy has found evidence of a warmer modern climate compared to the medieval period. The researchers reconstructed temperature variations over the Common Era and found that recent temperatures were higher than those during the medieval period. The study highlights the importance of data availability and the use of tree-ring data in climate reconstructions. The findings contribute to our understanding of long-term climate variability and provide insights into the current warming trend.
