I imagine the authors of both studies examined the same historical data to arrive at their conclusions.

Yes, "many years ago"....Science is never perfect, but it is the best we have.
More recently--I'm sure you've read countless articles from a wide variety of publications over just the past few weeks that indicate that it's virtually unanimous that climate change is being driven by human activity, and that our kids and grandchildren are likely to be in deep trouble
