Advertiser and Times: Climate change is happening TEN TIMES quicker than at any point since the age of the dinosaurs, warns new research. And the unprecedented rate of change is likely to trigger widespread future extinctions. A notorious warming period 55 million years known as the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) - when temperatures rose by at least 5C - is considered the most similar to current conditions. It led to animal dwarfism with horses, deer and other mammals shrinking dramatically in size....

Trees have already suffered mightily as historic drought conditions exacerbated by climate change have persisted across large portions of the Southwest, causing substantial tree death even among drought-resistant species. The U.S. Forest Service said last year that as many as 12 million trees...
