Animation of annual mean near-surface temperature anomalies in the Arctic for each year from 1950 to 2023. Data is from ERA5. Anomalies are calculated relative to a 1951 to 1980 climate baseline. Graphic was updated on "1/11/2024".
What's a good and up-to-date book on the state of climate change prognosis? I can read scientific texts, but am not a climatologist. I'm looking for something like Mark Lynas' Six Degrees (from 2007) if there's something more recent. The dry, hard facts presented in a cohesive way. #climatology#climatechange#globalwarming#bookstodon
That's why I have intentionally avoided using AI chatbots. I prefer the old-school way of reading the science papers myself.
Of course, if AI referenced the general scientific consensus that would be useful. For example, sampled all the scientific papers tagged with #climatology and reported the general conclusions.
