“The early Pliocene period [5 million years ago] had atmospheric carbon dioxide levels which [we can relate to] to today - slightly above 400 ppm - and temperatures are 2 to 3 degrees Celsius higher than at the moment. Looking at our data, we can see that during this period a major glacier system along the East Antarctic coast showed signs of retreat and increased melt water output,”

Unknown titletinental-size ice sheet of Antarctica was established. They also looked at the mid-Miocene (about 14 million years ago) when the mean global temperature was 4 degrees Celsius warmer than today. <span>“The early Pliocene period [5 million years ago] had atmospheric carbon dioxide levels which [we can relate to] to today - slightly above 400 ppm - and temperatures are 2 to 3 degrees Celsius higher than at the moment.

She is now at the University of Leicester, U.K. To reconstruct the past, the team used seismic p Summary
