A record of temperature on Earth over the past 500 million years. The timescale (x-axis) depicts years before present, telescoping from millions of years before present on the leftto thousands of years before present toward the right. The most recent peak in warming occurred during the transition from the Paleocene to the Eocene about 56 million years ago. The orangeband (between 500 million years to 100 million years) shows the effect of extreme assumptions in application of the Geostationary Carbon Observatory (GeoCarb) reconstruction.
