| Popis: | The Dependable Warmer During the middle of the Eocene, about 40 million years ago, a transient warming event interrupted the long-term cooling trend that had been in progress for the previous 10 million years. Bijl et al. (p. 819 ; see the Perspective by Pearson ) constructed records of sea surface temperature and atmospheric CO 2 concentrations across the warming period. It appears that vast amounts of CO 2 were injected into the atmosphere, and a sea surface temperature increase of as much a 6°C accompanied the atmospheric CO 2 rise. |
