Mystery mechanism drove global warming 55 million years ago
Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 22:13:58 UTC by vlad

General

A runaway spurt of global warming 55 million years ago turned Earth into a hothouse but how this happened remains worryingly unclear, scientists said on Monday.

Previous research into this period, called the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM, estimates the planet's surface temperature blasted upwards by between five and nine degrees Celsius (nine and 16.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in just a few thousand years.



The Arctic Ocean warmed to 23 C (73 F), or about the temperature of a lukewarm bath.

How PETM happened is unclear but climatologists are eager to find out, as this could shed light on aspects of global warming today.

What seems clear is that a huge amount of heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases -- natural, as opposed to man-made -- were disgorged in a very short time.

How did it happen? Simple....
Senitent Dinosaurs began burning all the available free carbon on the surface of the planet...
Then they became extinct when the climate changed, first it warmed up, then a long ice age when they all froze to death.
