Over the past 250 years, the average temperature of the earth’s land has risen by 1.5 degrees centigrade, according to Berkeley Earth Project findings released on Monday, July 30.

They cited the good correspondence between historical data on carbon dioxide emissions and the new temperature record. In an opinion piece written for The New York Times, Muller wrote, “Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”
