Earth’s climate consists of many systems that are both complex and intertwined, which means that a change to any part of the system can cause a series of other changes. This makes it hard to predict what climate change will do to our future Earth, and therefore, climate scientists have long been looking for a palaeoclimate period to serve as an future analogue. Although lot can be learned from studying any geological time period during Earth’s history, the best and most accurate findings will come from studying a period that holds most in common with the future climate state. In that way, one can better understand Earth’s vulnerable system components.
