Scientists Rethink Extreme Warming After Surprising Ocean Discovery

Researchers have applied a temperature proxy to exceptionally well-preserved fossil phytoplankton for the first time. The results suggest that conditions in the North Atlantic have been cooler than previously believed since the Miocene epoch. Accurate forecasts of how Earth’s climate will respond to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide depend on climate models. To test and refine [...]
