@tilscience: Bad news: we have a climate data problem. Good news: this clam may help us fix it. Here’s the problem, we need centuries of ocean data to understand the AMOC, but modern sensors only give us ~20 years. The solution could be clam shells. Clam shells have rings that act like oceanic tree rings. Each growth band = annual ocean conditions (temperature, salinity, current strength). By analyzing shells from clams that lived 1300+ years, scientists created the longest continuous ocean record in existence and discovered that AMOC instability has shown up decades before major climate shifts. Watch to see what the clams are telling us about our current situation or comment CLAM for a direct link to the full article on my Substack!

The earth will be fine, maybe not humans, but the earth will make it

😮‍💨 this is very disturbing. I really really REALLY hope they start listening to scientists and actually take climate change seriously

demonstrably the US government and businesses do not want to heed the warning. they're at full steam ahead for $5 today in exchange for planetary destruction tomorrow.

So does that suggest we are causing an ice age or does that mean we are disrupting a natural ice age?

Ive never understood how scientists can make any sufficient claim about the climate when we're only going off a century or so of solid data. The earth is billions of years old, 120 years or so of data is nothing. Even a few thousand years wouldn't be able to create a sufficient picture of what is "normal" change, or consistent for a climate. some rings on a clam shell isn't telling them this much information about the exact temperature drops 😄😄😄 climate activists need to learn about confirmation bias.

so you're telling me the climates changed dramatically throughout history, sometimes faster than other times?

If we want to stop climate change and offset our carbon footprint, then we have to stop cutting down all the damn trees!!! It's literally that simple. Trees take carbon dioxide and turn it into OXYGEN! All the other "climate change" measures are pointless when all we need to do is stop destroying the rainforest and re plant the trees we have cut down.

That really looks like they’ve killed the clam after it’s lived that long 🙄 can’t they do anything without killing what they’re trying to investigate do they really have to destroy everything?

We have Hafrún clam fossils all over our property in San Diego’s east county. They are ubiquitous here!

The dropping temps is why I think they have the underground cities! It’s always more warm there and I feel like it makes sense for

Okay, but in the 7th century, there wasn’t any pollution to contribute to climate change… so this has to be a natural cycle.
