Global Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations Linked to Changes in Terrestrial Temperature

Global Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations Linked to Changes in Terrestrial Temperature

Nearly thirty-four million years ago, the Earth underwent a transformation from a warm and high-carbon dioxide "greenhouse" state to a lower-CO2, variable climate of the modern "icehouse" world. Massive ice sheets grew across the Antarctic continent, major animal groups shifted, and ocean temperatures decreased by up to 5 degrees.
