Scientists are puzzled today by the discovery that millions of years ago levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were lower [than they are today] - and yet,[the water] temperatures [then] were higher than today's [are].
So begins a writeup about a paper in Nature just published. If you don't have access to the magazine the writeup I reference still contains information about how they determined what the temperature in the miocene era WAS, and how surprised they were to find that apparently the levers of climatic change were different in the miocene than the mechanisms of global change today.
