Respond to WR - This is utter nonsense. The first question I had was how did you make the leap from "supports" in the article to "confirms" in your opening statement. "A multinational research team, led by scientists at the University of Southampton, has analysed new records showing the CO2 content of the Earth's atmosphere between 2.3 to 3.3 million years ago, over the Pliocene."A multinational research team, led by scientists" Gee willikers, when I read that I said "sign me up". I am totally on board because there were people on this research team from different countries and there was a scientist in the lead. I am all in. They must be right.new records they analysed. new records show the C02 content between 2.3 and 3.3 million years ago That is a span of time covering one million years. This article linked below says, "Scientists are looking at what climate conditions were like 3.3 to 3 million years ago, during a geologic period known as the Pliocene, and they are confident in the accuracy of their data . The Pliocene is the most recent period of sustained global warmth similar to what is projected for the 21st century." Note the projections are based on their data, new evidence and new records. estimates ," said USGS scientist Marci Robinson. "For each temperature estimate , we looked at factors such as the abundance of fossils, the number of samples analyzed, fossil preservation, and the techniques used for analysis." their data. If you examine the manner in which they accumulate new data or new evidence from 2.3 to 3.3 million years ago to make up these new records you will see that it is no more than a Wild Ass Guess, commonly known as a WAG.enn.com
