Why was the temperature change greater in higher latitudes than in lower latitudes during the Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum?
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: When the Poles Really Felt the Heat Imagine Earth getting a fever, a really bad one. That’s essentially what happened during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), about 55.8 million years ago. It was a crazy time. Temperatures spiked by 5 to 8°C – globally! And what’s even crazier is that the
