The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum In Our Time Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the causes and effects of the highest global temperatures in the last 65m years, when Arctic sea surfaces reached ...

Fifty-five million years ago, Earth’s thermostat shot up—and life dramatically changed. Here’s what history can teach us about our modern temperature surge.

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), 56 million years ago, was a major carbon release event that resulted in rapid global warming and significant ocean acidification. This study highlights ...

Fifty-six million years ago, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), global temperatures rose by more than 5°C over 100,000 or more years. Between 3,000 and 20,000 petagrams of carbon ...

It started out at around 5.4 kilograms (12 pounds) but during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, weighed just 3.9 kilograms (8.5 pounds).

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is often considered a geologic analog to anthropogenic warming. Thus, the state of the oceans during the PETM could offer a prophetic glimpse of the ...

Prior to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) - which occurred around 55 million years ago - non-avian dinosaurs had been extinct for around ten million years.
