#2023 temperatures were warmest we’ve seen for at least 2,000 years
#NorthernHemisphere temperatures well beyond natural variability seen in tree rings.
The proxy data from the longest tree ring records can take temperatures back over 2,000 years to year 1 CE. Compared to that longer record, summer of 2023 was 2.2° C warmer.

Scientists showed #2023 was warmest #NorthernHemisphere #summer since 1850, when people started systematically measuring temp. Now, researchers say it was hottest in 2,000 years.
Scientists used #Dendrochronology, study of tree rings to compare last year’s #extremeheat with temperatures over past two millenniums. #GreenhouseGas in the atmosphere from the burning of #fossilfuels are responsible for most of the increase

The New York Times · Summer 2023 Was the Northern Hemisphere’s Hottest in 2,000 Years, Study FindsBy Delger Erdenesanaa

Meet the #rainboweucalyptus.

These #gums are unbeliebable.

When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.

The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.

Rainbow eucalyptus is the only eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.

It’s found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

And funny enough, it is not native to #Australia!
