Earth is heating up faster than at any time in its history
But how much hotter will it get, and what will that mean for life on Earth? To get a picture of our future, we can either use computer models or look to episodes of rapid climate change in the geological record. While models are invaluable in terms of tracking where our world may be heading, peering back into deep time provides unrivalled information about cause and effect; about how the climate has changed in the past and what the consequences were.
