"The temperature reconstruction is over millions of years. It's not on a human timescale."
"We evolved in a cooler climate and now we are rapidly warming it up and putting life on this planet in danger."
"[I]t is a bummer that these podcasts with large audiences are spewing this old-school denier nonsense. It's not helpful."
"In the US, people are in silos now and climate scientists can't easily reach people who aren't sure how climate change works. It's not a healthy situation."
Joe Rogan cited a 485-million-year Earth surface temperature reconstruction to suggest the planet is cooling. The reconstruction spans geological timescales rather than human timescales, according to the study's researchers. Jessica Tierney of the University of Arizona emphasized that humans evolved in a cooler climate and that humans are now rapidly warming the planet, endangering life. Tierney criticized high-audience podcasts for spreading old-school denialist claims that hinder public understanding. Tierney offered to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience to explain the paper and address disinformation directly.
