We compiled a bunch of temperature proxy data and concluded that the Miocene Climatic "Optimum" wasn't significantly warmer than the rest of the (very warm) early Miocene. The MMCT was definitely a cooling. Implications for CO2 versus ocean circulation mechanisms. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

When we think of ocean warming in the past, we often just project our own current folly and assume greenhouse gases. But sometimes, it might just be heat redistribution, driven by ocean circulation (pos. with some GHGs). 🧪🌊 Link: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adz2555

Once more for those not paying attention: Being anti-racist is not political. Supporting LGBT+ people is not political. Rainbow lanyards are not political. Opposing genocide is not political. Supporting EDI is not political. Be better, smarter, braver and stronger.
