In this lesson, you'll explore the changes that took place during the
PETM. Why do you think exploring these changes is important for
understanding the effects of climate change today? - answer The
PETM was the last rapid warming event on Earth. By exploring what
happened then, we can get an idea about what can happen to our
Earth today if it continues to get warmer.
Look at the world of the Paleocene-Eocene. How similar would you
say it is to today's world? - answer 75% the same
What is the general surface temperature trend from the late
Paleocene (~59 million years ago) to the early Eocene (~51 million
years ago)? - answer Increasing
What was the average global surface temperature at 59 million
years ago (round to the nearest degree)? - answer 23°C
