56 million years ago, a massive amount of carbon suddenly entered the atmosphere. This had major consequences for the forests of that time, as evidenced by fossil leaf cells in Wyoming, USA. The parallels with current warming are hardly reassuring. The PETM, short for the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, is considered the most recent […] More science?

56-Million-Year-Old Leaves Reveal Truth Behind “CO2 Will Green the Planet” Claims
Ancient fossilized leaves are providing powerful new evidence that flooding the atmosphere with carbon dioxide will damage the world’s forests rather than help them thrive, directly challenging claims made by some political figures that fossil fuel emissions could benefit plant life. Researchers analyzed microscopic leaf cells preserved from the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a dramatic warming event that occurred roughly 56 million years ago…
