Researchers question proxy temperature studies — ‘Living things grow differently in different years depending on what is happening in the local area’
ABC Australia reports: Growth rates of coral can override the climate information held in their skeletons, a study of giant corals has found. The study, published in Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, indicates that scientists need to analyse multiple coral cores to build a picture of past climates… “People speculate that we can reconstruct past climates from […]
