   Waiting at the hairdresser so time for one of my periodic #ClearTheTabs threads on random stuff I have open in my #Firefox...

   First up a paper I think @DrEvanGowan shared on Palaeo #SeaLevels from Australia that appear to confirm the vulnerability of #Antarctica to loss under #ClimateChange 1/many

     And then on to a study of #GlobalWarming rates:
     "the surface temperature increase through the recent La Nina influenced years (2022) is consistent with the 50-year trend of 0.18 °C/decade. ... However, we also find clear indications, in all observational series, of a step-up in warming rate since around 1990. CMIP6 models generally do not capture this observed combination of long-term warming rate and recent increase."

     Next frankly astonishing study ( because I'd never thought about it before), reconstruction of during the last glacial found

     "open ocean tidal energy was probably increased for most of this period, peaking during glacial maxima, and returning to near-present-day values during interglacials. Due to tidal resonance during glacial phases, small changes in bathymetry could have caused large changes in tidal amplitudes and dissipation"
     Seriously check it out #SeaLevelRise
