The data for Carlsons graph is from the second Greenland Ice Sheet Project, short GISP2, which in 1993, after half a decade of drilling penetrated through the ice sheet even 5 feet into bedrock, recovering an ice core 9,935 ft (or 3,029m) in depth, the deepest ice core recovered in the world at the time, for comparison, the Empire State Building is only 1,414 ft (or 431m). A compilation picture of such expedition can be seen here and a cross section of a few cores from several depths here. The relative oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios in those ice cores are a proxy for temperature change adjacent to the ice mas, providing a look back in time. And show, if nothing else, constant natural fluctuation over eons, especially before the industrial revolution! It was all Roman Warm Period, Medieval Warm Period, Big Ice Age, Little Ice Age... until the relative climate stability of the 20th century.

Geological explorer and renegade scholar Randall Carlson is back on the Joe Rogan experience! They go into climate history, oxygen isotopes in Greenland ice cores and such, again a must see.

It is odd that he does not regard the Vostok ice cores as relevant. These cores show that temperature leads carbon dioxide both going up and going down. Temperature also led carbon dioxide in the recent warming from the Little Ice Age.

As if we can measure temperature reliable. Or even know how to measure it.

Life as a climate heretic would be more fitting because global warming is de facto liberal dogma.

“A dogma is something that should not be disputed or doubted. Most often, this means the basic beliefs and doctrines of a religion. A set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.”
