What is the longest - Jurassic period Carboniferous period Paleozoic era or Mesozoic era?
The Paleozoic era represents the longest timespan from the list. It ran from 542 to 251 million years ago, a total time of 291 million years. It is also worth noting that an era always represents a longer timespan than a period and in fact an era will be composed of a number of periods. For completeness, the other time spans mentioned in the question are given further detail below: The Mesozoic era ran from 251 to 65.5 million years ago. A timespan of 185.5 millions years The Carboniferous period ran from 359.2 to 299 million years ago, A timespan of 60.2 millions years. The Carboniferous period is one of the subdivisions of the Paleozoic era. The Jurassic period ran from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago. A timespan of 54.1 millions years. The Jurassic period is one of the subdivisions of the Mesozoic era. For further information, please see the related links.

It depends. If Seismosaurus hallorum proves to be really a Diplodocus, than that would be the longest known specimen, with a length of about 33 meters. Otherwise, the longest known Diplodocus is about 27-30 meters long.
What was the carboniferous period climate?
The Earth's climate during the late carboniferous period was very similar to the climate of today, but during the early part there were some differences. Atmospheric CO_2 was a little higher, and so was global temperature. See: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html - SHARLENE ROMERO-PANCAN
