An Overview of Paleo-Climate Evidence in Egypt

Fig. 10 Comparison between the PETM and the current warming that reflect the importance of the
PETM study, and how it can help to understand the future climatic changes and the effect of the
temperature increase on various environments
Anthropocene scenarios (causes and consequences. The PETM extreme warming
is a commonly used analog and predicted best-case scenario for the current rapid
climate warming in the coming decades and centuries. We summarize the comparison
between the PETM and the anthropogenic climate changes in Fig. 10.
8 Conclusion
Study of the different impacts of the climatic changes occurred in the Earth’s geologic
history can give a clue to predict the consequence of the current warming. The
natural warming events took several hundreds of kilo years led to increase the earth
temperatures by a few degrees, whereas the human impact accelerates the process
by around 250 times. Therefor the human activities should be controlled by lows to
stop and/or decrease the emission of the greenhouse gases to slow there steps toward
the sex mass extinction event.
