Share this…FacebookTwitterIn the early 1900s, the globally-averaged distribution of calculated surface temperature estimates ranged between 14 and 15°C. For 1991-2018, HadCRUT, Berkeley, and NASA GISS also estimate today’s global temperature is about 14.5°C. Scientists estimating Earth’s surface temperature has been an ongoing pursuit since the early 19th century. A new study (Kramm et al., 2020) […]
