Climate change is happening 10 times faster than ever
The current pace of global warming is unmatched in the past 65 million years
A report out of Stanford University and published in the journal Science shows the extent to which the rate of climate change–a lot of warming in a very short amount of time–is outpacing any other periods of warming or cooling in 65 million years of Earth’s history. If current projections are accurate, the researchers say, that pace will accelerate to 50 or even 100 times faster than anything we’ve seen before.
