Ancient 'Hyperthermals' Serve as Guide to Anticipated Climate Changes; Sudden Global Warming Events More Frequent?

ScienceDaily (Mar. 16, 2011) — Bursts of intense global warming that have lasted tens of thousands of years have taken place more frequently throughout Earth's history than previously believe, according to evidence gathered by a team led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego researchers.

....The hyperthermals took place roughly every 400,000 years during a warm period of Earth history that prevailed some 50 million years ago. The strongest of them coincided with an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, the transition between two geologic epochs in which global temperatures rose between 4° and 7° C (7.2° and 12.6° F) and needed 200,000 years to return to historical norms. The events stopped taking place around 40 million years ago, when the planet entered a cooling phase. No warming events of the magnitude of these hyperthermals have been detected in the geological record since then...

Great, so we are going to warm the planet to a point where naturally occuring hyperthermal events took place regularly.

The planet is going to do what the planet is going to do, I still doubt we have much impact one way or another, at least I've seen very little convincing proof. Here's a research paper that claims CO2 acts as a coolant in our atmosphere, not a greenhouse gas:

I admit that Professor Nasif Nahle doesn't have the credentials of Mann or Gore, but he wasn't alone in working on this research.

Current Carbon Dioxide Emission Higher Than It Was Just Before Ancient Episode of Severe Global Warming


ScienceDaily (June 8, 2011) — The present rate of greenhouse carbon dioxide emissions through fossil fuel burning is higher than that associated with an ancient episode of severe global warming, according to new research. The findings are published online this week by the journal Nature Geoscience.

So what caused the "Ancient Episode of Severe Global Warming"? Was it fossil fuel burning back then too?

Nope, volcanic induced emissions of methane/CO2 as explained in the article.

That's the same response Mann, Steig, Jones and Santer gave.
