Description

Fifty-five million years ago the temperature of the earth atmosphere raised considerably in a short time as a result of methane that was released from the oceans. There is a chance that such a disturbance of the greenhouse effect occurs in the present heating of the earth

Abstract (Dutch)

Het klimaat warmde 55 miljoen jaar geleden in korte tijd flink op. Dat gebeurde toen een ongekende hoeveelheid methaan uit de oceaanbodem ontsnapte. Herhaling van zo'n klimaatsprong ligt ook bij de huidige opwarming van de aarde op de loer
