3 million years ago, greenhouse gas was lower (at 360ppm). Temperatures were warmer, and sea levels were 20 meters higher.
Professor Gavin Foster: “The reason we don’t see #Pliocene-like temperatures and sea-levels yet today is because it takes a while for Earth’s @climate@a.gup.pe to fully equilibrate (catch up) to higher CO2 levels and, because of human emissions, CO2 levels are still climbing.”

Dr. Emily Judd: "The impact of anthropogenic climate change is (and will continue to be) determined by the rate of change (meaning how quickly CO2 and temperature change) much more than the absolute temperatures, themselves." cited by @hausfath@fediscience.org there: https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-skeptics-have-new-favorite 🧵 #massExtinction #massExtinctions #climate #climateChange #globalHeating #climateBreakdown #climateHeating #quotes #research #study #CO2 #emissions
