There is no perfect parallel in Earth’s past for present-day climate change — human-driven warming is simply happening too fast and furiously. The closest analog came 56 million years ago, when over the course of 3000 to 5000 years, greenhouse gases soared in the atmosphere, causing at least 5 ° C of warming and pushing … Read more
