The climate will be the same as on the Earth in the middle of the belocean period. In dry weather, the North American continent was not connected to the south, Greenland was not covered by ice, and sea level was 18 meters higher. Temperatures were higher than between 1.8 and 3.6.

But the sea level will not rise so fast, because melting polar ice takes a long time. "We are preparing for clear climate change in a short time," said Jack Williams, professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Wisconsin. If carbon dioxide emissions persist, researchers predict that the Earth 's climate will look more like that of 50 million years ago, when mammals began to grow after the 39th century. extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

"These changes will result in the disappearance of many species," said the study's co-author, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Sciences. "This shows how we can study our history and the history of the Earth to understand the current changes and adapt to them."
