Analytical Comparisons of Tree Ring Data, Greenland Ice Core Temperatures and Temperature Fluctuations of the Sargasso Sea
ORAL
Abstract
Embedded in various events on Earth are data that allow us to map the temperature of the Earth over many years. In this work we have chosen the temperature fluctuations in the Sargasso sea, the changing patterns in tree ring growth and temperature fluctuations in Greenland ice core samples for comparison with a goal to understanding the patterns in global warming. Signatures have been identified that predate the Industrial Revolution, which had been blamed for much of global warming, that indicate that Earth temperatures have enjoyed numerous intervals of both global warming and global cooling. The intention of this work is not to stir controversy but to make comparisons of scientific data and processes rather than rely on popular opinion or deduction by ``experts'' in climatology to explain global warming.
