The CMB and BAO measurements give us a picture of how the early universe looked. Supernovae are sensitive to the conditions in the late universe. All probes, which are mostly independent, always pointed at the same amount of dark energy.

Now these people are saying SN actually point at zero dark energy, if accounting for the physics properly. That doesn't invalidate the CMB and BAO results. So dark energy must have had a big influence in the early universe, and no influence in the late universe, so it must by dynamic. (Ironically, supernovae were the first evidence for dark energy, which I guess was just a coincidence, if this new research is correct.)

Ah, I didn't realize dark energy also had evidence that far back. I can only recall seeing the supernova data cited for it.

Check the first plot. Four different probes all agree on the same value. Well, used to, if this pans out. The blue one would be somewhere on the x axis now.
