An abrupt planet-wide warming event occurred approximately 56 million years ago during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). This period was characterized by a rapid increase in global temperatures, likely due to massive releases of carbon into the atmosphere. The PETM led to significant ecological and climatic changes on Earth.

What is worst global warming or global cooling and why?
If global cooling means the gradual cooling into an Ice Age, then that has happened in the past and it has taken thousands of years to happen. The present global warming has all happened far faster, in less than 200 years, and is threatening all life on the planet if we can't stop it. Global warming is by far the more dangerous situation.
Has there been global warming for the past 11 years?
Yes, the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1998.
Is both global environment and global warming is same?
Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.
Why wasn't global warming a problem a thousand years ago?
1000 years ago there was no global warming, just the normal warming of the earth by the sun. Global warming started when we discovered fossil fuels and started burning them seriously, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, about 250 years ago. This burning released age-old carbon dioxide that had been hidden underground for 300 million years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so extra gas in the atmosphere captures more heat, and this is global warming.
Has global warming been occoring a lot of decades?
Apparently there was some warming for decades, but there has now been none for nearly twenty years.
What will happen in a few years time when global warming gets out of control?
Out of control means the earth will be too hot for life.

Is Global Warming a cycle?
No, it is not a cycle. Natural warmings and coolings happen over thousands of years. The earth has never warmed up so quickly before.
Has there been global warming for the past 11 years?
Yes, the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1998.
What is expected to happen to the earth in 5 to 7 billion years from now?
Its not fun to thing about, but either the sun will fry us all sky high, or global warming will have taken controll by then.
Is both global environment and global warming is same?
Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.
What might happen to the ocean as a result of global warming?
The sea level will rise and we may lose food supply and in 200 years, if the climate changes by 6 degrees, the world will have mass extinction.
Does global warming bounce?
No, global warming has been rising steadily since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Most of the warming has taken place in the last 80 years, but there is no bounce.

How has the Earth's natural warming system been thrown out of balance over the last 200 years?

How is global warming affecting the lives of leopard?
It is not. The past 10,000 years has shown warming, but the rate is slow enough for all animals to adapt.
Has global warming been occoring a lot of decades?
Apparently there was some warming for decades, but there has now been none for nearly twenty years.
