The University of Exeter researchers have recently uncovered research that aims to identify “tipping points” that pertain to climate change that occurred over 55 million years ago. The team noted some refreshing changes that offer new insights into what caused the most rapid and dramatic instances of climate change formats in the history of the Earth. The team made pivotal breakthroughs in the scenery behind the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) – an extreme global warming event that lasted for over 150 thousand years which led to significant temperature changes. The team notes that previous iterations of the study have contributed heavily to the vast CO2 emissions that drove to the rapidly changing climate which might actually not be the trigger as it was previously thought. In this new variation of the study, the research team identified high levels of mercury just before and at the onset of the PETM could easily be integrated as the official reason for the expansive volcanic activity.
The team collected samples from the sedimentary cores in the North Sea and analyzed rock samples that indicated that in the early stages of PETM a significant increase in mercury was observed. This made the team hypothesize that at least one other carbon reservoir could be releasing a significant amount of greenhouse gas as the entire phenomenon of climate change took place during its pertaining duration. This event led to the trigger of incredible amount of additional carbon reservoirs that drove the Earth’s climate change to unprecedented higher levels. This research included insights into understanding how modern day climate change could affect the Earth in the future centuries to come. The team wanted to test their prevailing hypothesis that greenhouse gas were triggered by large volcanic eruptions which released mercury and carbon throughout the eruptive event.
