Scientists say a sharp increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused global warming on Earth 40 million years ago. This suggests that when the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, they left their cars running.
The CO2 levels in microfossils of marine plankton indicate a 5 to 11 degree rise in temperatures near the sea surface over about 100,000 years. Scientists suspect that this also led to a rise in the popularity of surfing.
This led to an increase in the value of plankton-owned beachfront property, until the crowds and concession stands brought about the inevitable market adjustment.
Though the tiny plankton fossils reveal compelling evidence of this global warming, Big Corporate plankton fossils dismiss it as a myth.
