Humans are releasing planet-warming carbon dioxide at about 10 times faster than the most rapid event of anytime in at least the past 66 million years. This leaves us without a historical analogue to guide predictions for how climate change will affect the world in coming years, a new study has found
The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, comes about a week after news broke that the level of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere spiked by the largest amount (http://mashable.com/2016/03/10/carbon-dioxide-increased-by-record-amount-in-2015/) on record in 2015, and on the heels of the hottest year and mildest first two months of 2016 on record
