Data Talks

New study:

10k to 8k years ago Arctic Svalbard was 6°C warmer than today, optimal for a "rich species pool" of thermophiles. It's now too cold for warmth-demanding species.

Modern Svalbard is more glaciated than most of the last 10k years (blue line).https://t.co/w4uRqjmMKS pic.twitter.com/631QSVf6xv
