During the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era, global temperatures were generally warmer than today, averaging around 20-25°C (68-77°F). This era saw high levels of carbon dioxide and a greenhouse climate, contributing to polar regions being ice-free and widespread tropical conditions. Variations in temperature also existed, influenced by factors such as sea level changes and volcanic activity. Overall, the Cretaceous was characterized by a warmer climate that supported diverse ecosystems.
A general rise in global temperature is called global warming. It is primarily due to an increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, trapping heat and causing temperatures to rise.
The rise in temperature is called Global Warming. This global warming of the earth is causing Climate Change. These two things are not the same thing.
Global Warming
The term is "global warming," which refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature.

No, the global sea level was high.
Global warming
Yes.

No, they don't.

It rises.

There was a minor extinction event at the end of the Jurassic period. It was probably caused by global climate change. Dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Stegosaurus couldn't adapt to the change in temperature, so they all died out. The Cretaceous period then came after the Jurassic period had ended.
