Past and future climate novelty
We’ve got a new paper out! Collaborator Matt Fitzpatrick and Jessica, with other collaborators on our NSF-funded Community Paleomodeling project, co-lead a project to compare the estimates of future climate novelty with those from the past. Here’s a link to the paper. Spoiler alert: future climate novelty by AD 2100 meets or exceeds climate novelty over the past 21,000 years.
