The Cretaceous period 145-66 million years ago is often cited as a textbook example of a greenhouse climate with high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide ([CO2]atm) A wealth of palaeoclimate proxy data from the fossil record and studies in isotope geochemistry had previously shown that ocean temper...
