They discovered that, in the last glacial period, Earth experienced its highest CO2 increase: 14 parts per million in just 55 years. Not, our planet experiences that increase every five years.
I have been noticing silly typos all over the place in articles for the last few years, but have no memory of those being common in the past. I guess editors proofreading articles isn’t really a thing anymore?
The editors are all gone now. Look at newspapers. No one is going to pay someone to check the work of the other guy you’re paying for that work, that’s like paying twice for the same job.
Everyone fired their editors in 2008.
I just read this as a “not” joke. As in, “yeah that was the fastest ever CO2 increase in earth’s history. Not”
But we haven’t seen what happens when we ignore it yet! It could just become cotton candy!
climate destruction
Shouldn’t have expecteted less with “ever” in the title.
i read the title as “a 50,000 year old block of ice pants” at first.
I only skimmed this article but is it trying to bring home the seriousness of and need to reverse man-made global warming by citing an entirely natural example.
Based on other comments the operative comparison is the previous worst case took 55 years to build up the level of CO2 that now only takes 5 years.

Yeah you are probably right if a bit snarky but it seemed an awkward, cobbled together thing so didn’t spend too much time.
