Nature World News: With climate change already impacting various parts of the world, scientists have started looking into Earth's past in order to better predict how it will affect our future. To add to growing evidence, a new study has found that ice sheet collapse 135 million years ago triggered events of strong global climate change. The Cretaceous period, 145 to 66 million years ago, was one of the warmest times in Earth's history - though some say it was interrupted with a significant cold snap. During this...

Nature World: This revelation, described in the journal Geology, may help improve prognoses of future climate and environmental development as well as the assessment of human influence on climate change. During the Cretaceous period, which was one of the warmest times in Earth's history, the poles were devoid of ice and average ocean temperatures in the Atlantic reached up to a sweltering 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). "A typical greenhouse climate; some even refer to it as a 'super greenhouse,'"...

Analysis resolves ancient climate puzzle
2015-05-12 01:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Globe and Mail: In a study that offers a cautionary message to global policy-makers, a team of researchers from Canada, Australia and the United States has shed new light on a mysterious period of accelerated climate change that occurred 55 million years ago, long before humans appeared. The team's analysis, published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, concerns the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a relatively brief period in geologic time when Earth's average temperature rose by an estimated five...
