Los escarabajos

The video discusses indirect climate indicators such as tree rings, ice cores, and beetles. It highlights the Poecilus beetle, which serves as a climate indicator due to its color and temperature preferences. By studying beetles trapped in ancient swamps, scientists can infer past climate conditions. The disappearance and replacement of beetle species suggest abrupt climate changes. Understanding past climates is crucial for explaining current and future climate changes, with contributions from researchers like Russell Kupp.
