OUR ANCIENT OCEAN TEMPERATURE RECORDS MAY BE WRONG MEANING CURRENT WARMING IS UNPARALLELED FOR 100 M

http://www.newsweek.com/ancient-ocean-temperatures-wrong-unparalleled-climate

Scientists may have miscalculated ancient ocean temperature records. If confirmed, the discovery throws decades of climate research into question and could mean we are living through a period of climate change unparalleled for at least 100 million years.

It is generally accepted among the scientific community that ocean temperatures were around 15 degrees Celsius warmer 100 million years ago than they are today, during the Cretaceous period.
