Answer 1

Final warming during the Late Paleocene led to the warmest climate in the past 65 million years. This rapid warming about 55 million years ago was likely caused by the melting of methane hydrates.

Global temperatures have risen by 5-8°C. The onset of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum is associated with volcanic activity and uplift associated with the North Atlantic magmatic region, causing extreme changes in the global carbon cycle and significant increases in temperature.

A period of severe global warming 55 million years ago was caused by not one but two injections of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The rate of increase suggests that ancient warming events could have important lessons for today's climate.
