Extreme CO2 greenhouse effect heated up the young Earth – EurekAlert
Although sun radiation was relatively low, the temperature on the young Earth was warm. An international team of geoscientists has found important clues that high…

At the time, our Sun shone with only 70 to 80 per cent of its present intensity. Nevertheless, the climate on the young Earth was apparently quite warm because there was hardly any glacial ice.
