New research helps explain ancient warming

[kenneal - lagger]

This new research helps explain the extreme warming between the Paleocene and Eocene Epochs 56 million years ago but isn't relevant to today's warming. Rather it shows that the speed of today's warming is unprecedented and is due to human CO2 emissions

Oh, unlikely to be unprecedented, Chicxulub did jim dandy great at short order climate change. The La Garita Caldera created excitement. The Younger Dryas was pretty fast, but it took like 1300 years. Humans have been polluting the world about that long, but the last century or two are where the real action was.

Short term climate change events are quite interesting from a scientific perspective. Humans are just one part of the biologic scum in the planet's biota, too bad we really aren't any smarter than cockroaches trapped in a bucket with 5# of sugar to enjoy.
