When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive
The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years
Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

What the Initial Signs of Climate Success Look Like
It’s easy to see the climate failures all around, from banks watering down their net-zero ambitions to the second term of US President Donald Trump. But the data shows signs of progress. Halting, uneven and not fast enough to be sure, but there’s an undeniable transition afoot.
