There are scientists who study ice cores. Every summer a bit of ice in the north pole melts exposing liquid water to the air and interacting with it. Every winter that liquid freezes again. What we are left with are layers of ice that have been frozen in different years. These layers go back thousands of years. With our knowledge of atomic physics, we know what kind of isotopes exist in the atmosphere at certain temperatures. With this knowledge we can calculate the temperature of the earth in years past. We can also measure the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that was present in the past. With this information we have found the is a direct relation to the temperature of the earth and the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere.

I am sure someone can explain this better than me, but this is the jist of it.

The article says that 2016 was the previous hottest year on record, so I am not sure what you mean by your first sentence. I do agree with your second sentence though.

cheers

I did a debian install this weekend, and it seemed pretty mild. It asked if I wanted separate partitions for /tmp and /home and if I wanted to encrypt my lvm. Then I chose my desktop environment from a list and that was it. It even installed grub for me.

Pretty sure myself with doctor Manhattan powers would be a death fest. Like i would want to make war illegal, but how would i do that? just start killing leaders who wage war. i'd also be tempted to try to 'fix' society starting with US congress and senate. lobbying would be made illegal and i'd probably have to kill some people for them to get the message. the problem is that i am just some guy who doesn't know the intricacies of the verycomplicated matter of US federal law. so i probably kill way too many people and probably a lot a good people. it is for the best i dont have this power.
