Record Shows Ancient Temperature Variations Coinciding With Shifts in the Planet’s Biodiversity – Brinkwire

Geologists Produce New Timeline of Earths Paleozoic Climate ChangesThe temperature of a planet is linked with the diversity of life that it can support. MIT geologists have now reconstructed a timeline of the Earths temperature during the early Paleozoic era, between 510 and 440 million years ago a pivotal period when animals became abundant in a previously microbe-dominated world.
In a study appearing today (February 1, 2021) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers…
